sincerely [a collection of poetry]

Her

There was once a girl, 

Who wanted everything except the world.

She tried and tried,

But only got broken and bruised.

She didn't want to give up, but felt like she had no choice,

Because although she was healing, she was still just a voice.

The day arrived, and she picked up the knife,

But something stopped her from taking her life.

It was a small quiet voice, telling her it'd be okay,

All she had to do was kneel down and pray.

From that day forward she never looked back,

And when she felt tempted she told herself "You're better than that."

She thanks that voice each day, for now she lives her life a better way.
