Expectations

I just can't meet.

Temptations

Each meant to defeat.

I try

Maybe now they will be proud.

I cry

And dwell within a black cloud.

Progression

Try hard to be better than I am now.

Obsession

Always trying to know how.

Expression

I try to show what I want to be.

Depression

Why can't I just be me?

I wonder why

Can no one except

I'd rather die

How much more do they expect?

I confided

Only to be pushed and bumped.

Suicide

I give up.

Thank God she did not act out her thoughts at the time! I am crying now and can't seem to stop. My baby girl felt we weren't proud of her? Her entire family was so proud of her, she didn't have to change anything about herself! How could she not know that?

 I just wish I could hug her and tell her everything will be ok, but I guess we don't always get what we wish for. People who have loved ones struggling, reach out while they are still with you. Give them that reassuring hug and encouragement they need. While Nichole did not commit suicide, she obviously did have that dark thought.
