A selfless shadow
He grew up in a system that constantly tried to pull him down. Every attempt to freedom led to more hopelessness, until she found him. The illuminating girl with the perfect smile, and motivational words.
She protected him during the storms, became his confidant, and his backbone. She made him realise he was eventually going to be okay because she would never leave nor forsake him.
Except that she kept a secret of her own. Who knew everyday was a battle between her and her demons. Hidden behind her perfect smiles were thousands of pains.
Looking back now, all he can say is a silent "thank you". To the soul that gave her life for others. To the soul that should've accepted help. She will forever be his shadow, even when he can't see her in the sun.
