Life’s a gift

Life’s a gift they say

But she’s tired, exhausted and drained 

She stays under the hot water to wash her pain away 

She looks to the sky to feel sun and take her away 

Life’s a gift they say 

The everyday drowning emotion she couldn’t take 

She looks for comforts in herself 

Hiding away the pain that’s stricken her 

She smiles as if the world was hers 

Life’s a gift they say 

In an everyday world where her voice was so minuscule 

She was afraid 

Not of death but what lies after 

Life’s a gift they say 

All she does is work and sleep 

Because for being social was the same as being stabbed to her 

For Her heart was as brittle as the sand castles near the ocean waves 

Life’s a gift they say 

She often look to the ground to avoid the eyes of society 

Her soul cries to be loved 

Her heart screamed at the darkness 

Only to hear her echoes of pain 

Life’s a gift they say ..
