The light

Down on her feet
She feels like everybody is starring at her
Though why does she feel so invisible?

She hears a voice in her head
Saying "get up, don't be afraid,
just keep fighting what's ahead" ,
She tries to get up,
her heavy soul breaks her down.
But she doesn't give up,
she tries again and again,
until the end.
She's bleeding, suffocating,
scars on her knees, holes in her lungs,
and this makes her wonder :
What's the point of living
if it hurts to die?

Then she felt something.
She saw in a bright light
an old lady all in white.
helping her getting up.
In the following days,
the lady healed her body in pain
and fixed her broken soul.

When she was doing better,
she asked the old lady
what she could do for her.
She answered :
" When you were at your worse,
I fixed you like a nurse.
If there is a next time,
and I don't want it to be but if there is,
I only ask for one thing :
Love yourself, respect yourself
at your fair value
So you can be your own savior.
When you'll be in the dark,
be your own light"
