Then and Now

At 15, I was a depressed teenager who had self harmed and wondered about just how painful it could possibly be to end my life.

Everyday it got harder,

Everyday was like a nightmare progressing on,

Everyday was another prayer echoing from my bones asking God to take me now,

Everyday I would close up more,

Everyday it would get more impossible,

Everyday I felt myself die some more,

Everyday I laid on my bed wondering how I’ll leave this hell;

I’ve never felt so much pain in my life...

Right now, I’m laying on the couch, and I’m with the greatest friends I could ask for.

We just laugh and carry on as if nothing mattered anymore.

Life gets better. Make sure you are there to see it.
