"Every time I close my eyes, all I see is you. I feel scared and so afraid inside that I cannot breathe no more..." Samantha silently sang as she played a melancholic tune on her acoustic guitar. She was only sixteen years old when she finally realized what was happening to her, depression was eating her alive. A few years ago, her mum fell in love with a co-worker, he appeared like a good man, but as time passed Samantha knew something was strange in him. She never approved their relationship. She was taken as a slave in her own nuclear household, cleaned, cooked, raised her younger brothers Jacob and Isaac, and took care of her studies. She always hid her sadness under a bubbly smile, no one ever knew she was so broken inside.
Samantha was raised by her maternal grandparents, Kimberly and John, who called her their little angel, even though her heart was filled with sadness and anger. She didn't have much friends, the reason behind it was her shyness, but ever since her depression started, she became asocial, closed up in her own little world, making it even harder for her to socialize with people; the little friends she made, she never put effort to maintain the friendship, so they always leave.
Samantha Joan Bernard is a suicide attempt survivor. Not many people know about this, since she rarely talks, but to the little group of people she has told about, they were shocked. And so her story continues...
