She



She was there
She was always there
She had darkness around her
She was fire, she was rain
She was night and she was light

She was the one
Who was there
Her voice was the loudest one
Stronger than the rest
She built me a nest
I stayed there for days, sometimes
"end it all" she would always say

When I was well, she was there
When I fell, she was there

She was the hurricane inside my mind
She was the one who screamed "I'm fine"
She gave me pills to escape from this hell
My mind could not handle this cell

She was there
She was always there
The shadow behind
Who held me
When I fell
