Just Another Day

❗️❗️MATURE TOPIC❗️❗️

Shes constantly fighting an unseen battle

a battle of mind over matter, mentality over morality

The voices she fights clash with the only string of hope she has left

causing a numb empty feeling of despair

A feeling of being pushed down

Down a hill, so much effort was put into climbing

no amount of tears can measure to the blood shes shed

She needs somebody to hold her tight to tell her everything will be alright

and when her self esteem bails I hope and pray to God...that I don’t fail

An all to real fear lingers over her head

The fear of being pulled into a room where everything is dull and dead

depression...

An inescapable grip of pain and despair Leading to what feels like an inevitable death

Her strength is unbelievable, fighting the same evil every single night

and in the morning her tears, remain quiet and out of sight

Like nothing happened

the only visible thing is her messy brown hair and a fake smile

She listens to her 14-year-old daughter babble on and on

but she listens with intensity as if nothing existed around her

it’s just her and her daughter

She listens as if it were the only thing silencing the whispers of evil

shes a mother, a sister, she’s an angel in disguise

So on that dreaded night, I will look her in her pain-filled eyes

The small jewels matched by her soft pink tear-stained cheeks

and I will beg her to fight

Beg her to put the gun down from her fragile head

before she creates shiny shallow pools of deep dark red

She will continue to fight, fight this demon known only as depression

She will continue to fight for me, her family but most importantly for herself

So I’ll tell her what really is true

Mom, we love you
