She has been battling depression for over a decade.
No one other than her doctor knows of her sickness.
She suffers emotional loneliness and agony, not so much physical pain.
Wearing an invisible veil, she walks around with a smile on her face.
Day in and day out.
In dark hours, she did things intentionally to harm herself.
Going to a bar and drink till she was no longer sober
Feeding the slot machines when she no longer see the value of money.
Suffering insomnia too …………….
One night, she did something she had never ever done before.
She physically destroyed her dearest possession to punish herself.
Life goes on.
Often you see her smile, she hardly cries.
Day in and day out.
She knows she is a demon when inside the window.
Outside the window, many see her as an angel.
This story is in the present tense as our demon and angel is battling within to find herself.

This breaks my heart. I have felt this, I have watched people go through this. This sucks. And I pray that the pain lessens for the people who are living through this.
