"Out With The Old" That's What The Angel Told

I hug myself closely
I'm scared and so cold
With no place to call home
Like this, I won't grow old

But then a light hit me
An angel came to say,
"Hello there,
I'm here to help you today"

She took my hand
Pulled me to my feet
She gave me new clothes
And even something to eat

Starving, I gobbled it
Gone so quick
She gave me some more
And my lips I did lick

Then she brought me closer
And whispered in my ear,
"I'm going to get you a home,
I'm going to bring people near"

She sent me walking
And my head stayed down
I was again scared and lonely
And on my face a frown

But that's when I found you
And I fell to the floor
You helped me to my feet
I suddenly realised I wanted more

You introduced yourself
And said a friendly hi
Had you seen me before?
And then I started to cry

You should have ran away
But you stood your ground
And you held my hand
While I made that awful sound

I cried and cried
And you comforted me
You opened my eyes
And made me see

I needed you
To make me be
I needed you
To make me, me

The angel saved me
That day, it's true
That angel was me
I bet you never knew

To pick yourself up
Is sometimes what you need
Put a smile on for the world
And maybe, somehow, you'll succeed

So "out with the old"
That's what the angel told
As she held my hand tight
I'd be a new person tonight

The Mirror

I look in the mirror. And what do I see. A girl with a dream. That's me. She stands up tall. With lots of pride. She glared at it again. Wondering whats on the other side. She feels the strength.

Reveal

At the end of every day. The cracks are starting to show. Instead of being a hummingbird. I transform to a crow. I'm too hunched, aching and weary. For one as young as I. But there are some days when.

The Girl in The Window

I'm all alone. I sit in my room... It's pitch black except when a clap of thunder and a flash of lightning light up the whole room for a split second.

path from victim to survivor

I've gone through many difficult things lately. I've been depressed, I've struggled with anxiety. I had no hope and no wishes for the future. I just wanted to disappear.

Transition.

Lost in apathy and giving in to ease, an eternal hole inside so painful it brings a grown man to his knees.

Chapter VII - The Last One

I just want to quickly point out, that these chapters can get quite harsh and unpleasant quite quickly, so younger and more sensitive readers please be aware.
