The issues, the struggles, they are so real to her;
The darkness, the clouds, the gloom surround her;
There seems to be no escape!

It spreads!
It is felt throughout the house, throughout the day;
It never goes away.

It's internal, it's deep, and hard to describe;
It is rooted within her dark sorrow-filled eyes.

The thoughts she fights are frightful and strong;
She must hold on and try to remain calm;
But for how long?

This was not always true for her;
The darkness slowly crept;
It must've found a foothold;
From which it has progressed.

It holds on tight and does not let go;
Regardless of how hard she tries;
For when she finds a ray of hope,
the darkness drags her back inside.
