when people ask her how she is

she responds with "I'm ok"

leading them to then further ask her about her day.

Her day was uneventful,

yet she's tired, even sad;

these constant feelings of fatigue have her thinking life is bad.

For recently she has felt as if she has lost her grip on life,

leaving her in constant fear and stress, sometimes as painful as a knife.

She's reached a point at which she no longer knows what to do,

desperately reaching out for help, and attempting to gain a new point of view.

A view in which she can acknowledge hardships, yet not become fixated,

where when something doesn't go her way she will not feel deflated.

She knows in time this feeling will pass, and again she will feel in control,

for this feeling has been present before, making her feel as if she was sinking in a hole.

With time she will rise again, feeling strong and motivated,

and until then she reminds herself to try her best not to become irritated.
