In a fight for her life
A young girl struggles on
Trying to keep the faith
Yet leaving love behind
Keeping herself from others
As so many now do
Locked up in her dark room
She tries to take her life

So many times
Have I felt this way
Escaping all end
By a mear fragment of hope
Staying alive physically
Yet, mentally,
Already gone
Away from hope

Life has a way
Of changing all that's real
Taking all that keeps us here
And leaving us with nothing
That day, I did not succeed
And it's probably good I didn't
I've learned life's lessons
In all I've done since then

And before I tried to take my life
I lost all I had left
Seven friends dead in a car accident
And without dreams,
I surrendered
Please don't let the shadows
Break across my heart
Go on living, when all is lost

When you feel there is no answer, you haven't asked the right question, within each of us is a well, it is full and only needs to be taken from, Someone with your deep emotions surely can reach that far.

i read of hope in your lovely poem, sad but yet your will to go on is strenth that God within you gives with passionate Love.

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.
