BY SENAIT G/HIWOT
She lives in a world that is torturous
Her depression is truly remorseless
She can’t communicate with people easily
Her mind makes it seem she is silly
“Why i’ m i created?” She asks God again
There is nothing to relieve her pain
Why must i suffer like this?? She asks
In a way that no one understands
Her family tell her it’s all in her head
But she knows that not why she can’t get out of bed
People respond to her questions doubtfully
Yet they never answer her knowingly
So what kind of world i’m living in she pleads
As she goes alone down the hills
When she sees other people that seem well
She realizes her situation is hell
But no one thinks that way of her
Unless she speaks out to another
She hides this turmoil deep in her gut
Thinking that there is no way out…
