She lay in bed
Her heart heavy with pain
Tears streaming down her face like rain
Unable to love herself
Feeling lost and alone inside
The weight of the world on her shoulders
She felt like she was growing colder
Her own worst enemy
Her mind would say
No escape from the darkness that held sway
She cried herself to sleep each night
Trying to drown out the inner fight
Wishing for a glimmer of hope
To help her climb this slippery slope
But in the darkness she found solace
A quiet peace in the silence
And though the tears may still fall
She knows she can rise above it all
She holds the key
To unlock the chains and set herself free
To love herself flaws and all
And rise like a phoenix
Standing tall
