----------------------------------------

"You miserable wretch!",
Said the voices in her head.
"The world will be a better place without you,
You are better off dead!"

Everyday is a nightmare
And hope, the bitter pill to be gulped down.
Her own voice gets feebler
But the voices in her head get even more loud.

She swims against the tide,
Wondering when she'll be swept in.
Accused from every nook and corner,
And used just like a rubbish bin.

Many have found boats,
They all row past without a second glance.
But she can't wait to get into someone's boat
Cause time and the water flow at their own command.

A warrior in the world's wars,
But there's no one to help her fight her own.
Bruised by rocks, some by accident,
Others hurled by those from her own home.

As she waits for her own doom,
She knows she will never be known
Until she decides to stop swimming,
That's when the world will know.

Oh yes, then everyone will know!
There existed a warrior in their midst!
Someone who fought against the odds!
And finally, she will be missed.
