Description She was hurting, deeply
But she always tried to cover it up with a smile
She acted as if the words they said didn't hurt her,
But in the inside, they were killing her
She acted as if life was perfect,
But in reality, her world was falling apart

Every night, after a long day of pretending to be someone else,
She would lay in her bed and cry
Let the pain seep out
Let the words consume her mind
Let her world continue to spin out of control

She would remember how he hurt her
How everything happened in a flash
How he was with her one minute
And with another girl the next
It made her heart feel broken and betrayed
Making her afraid to ever love again

She remembered how she was teased and tormented
The things they would say to her like
"You are worth nothing" or
"Sorry, Only the pretty girls get loved."
Those words continued to hurt and haunt her day by day
Making her insecurities become more and more alive

She remembered how she started to pretend
Because her depression had come back
The suicidal thoughts began to rule her mind
And she didn't want anyone to think she was crazy
So instead it would just be something she would hide

So that night she laid there crying
Letting all her negative emotions sink in
When she decided she needed to do something,
She couldn't keep living her life like this.
So out of hope and desperation
She just whispered a short prayer
Too see if that God she believed in so long ago,
Was still out there and would hear her prayer

She sat in silence waiting
With tears streaming down her face
When a small soft voice said
Something that would re-bloom her faith

"My dear child,
I see your pain and your suffering.
I see how those people's words hurt
And I see how your heart has finally broke
But I'm here to take away the pain."

"My daughter,
Do not fear love,
Because perfect love casts out fear.
And love conquers all things
Even hate and betrayel."

"My child,
You are MORE beautiful than words can say.
The King is enthralled by your beauty.
Your beauty shines forth on the outside,
And on the inside."

"My daughter,
Pretending is only hurting you
Be who you are because who you are is an amazing woman.
Remember there is nothing that we cannot overcome
Together depression will be banished,
And the suicidal thoughts will be crushed in the dirt
Because you have so much to live for."

"My child,
Do not forget these words.
Love conquers ALL,
Let your beauty shine,
And there is no trial that can stand in your way,
There is no trial
That cannot be overcome by faith."

That made me cry...
Which is amazing... Because I generally don't like or feel much towards poetry unless I REALLY REALLY like it...!
And that was absolutely beautiful!
Thank the Lord for this poem! I believe it could help someone, especially one who has a little faith the the girl in this poem!
Be strong and courageous, all you who are suffering! God will definitely help you through!
And remember... That you're all beautiful! No matter what anyone says!

(I've always imagined it would be truly wonderful to hear God's voice! I hope someday, I do hear it!)

You have hit a chord. So many young people feel this way. I wish my friend Christina would have had the courage to keep going. She chose the other route, though. We are saddened and miss her.

Whoah...this is not only so true and so beautiful, it is similar to what I was going through the last few months... I had to forgive a few people tha hurt me very badly, but I was struggling to forgive, and the unforgiveness caused an opening in my heart, allowing Satan to come in and constantly stab my wounds and whispered to me that it would be better to kill myself or cut myself... And it brought up a few different things too.. But today, I finally forgave them (even though it was very hard...) and now I can finally begin to heal

I could relate to the girl described in here, although my problem is not necessarily on a boyfriend, etc.

But really, this was comforting. I thank you-- and I most of all thank GOD for HIS perfect timing. Suicidal and negative thoughts occasionally seep through my mind, but I always ask HIM to fight them off because I want to live for HIM.

Praise GOD!

I honestly found this really dumb. She saves herself through prayer.

More like she lies to herself to feel better.
