She never stood a chance in life

Her heart is heavy, its full of so much sadness and pain.
From a very young age, she has watched her whole life go down the drain.
When she was little, she learnt that to cry was a sign of being weak.
Everytime she starts to get upset now, she remembers all the times she was beaten and told not to speak.
Then she started primary school, everyday she had to make up excuses for the bruises and the marks.
Shortly after was when he started to come into her room every night, she no longer sleeps now and prefers to be alone in the dark.
By the time she was in her early teens, it was too late to save her as she wanted out of her horrible life.
At the age of thirteen, she started thinking about death and cutting herself with a knife.
Two years later, she made her first attempt at killing herself.
At the hospital all alone, for no one could possibly care about her, only of themselves.
A year later she was raped again, but this time by a complete stranger.
In total she's tried to kill herself three times, and is now once again heading towards that danger.
She's hidden all of this, she's never had anybody to trust.
She keeps all of her problems deep inside, to put on her mask and make everyone think she's ok is a must.
Her depression, nightmares and pain, make her a burden to everyone.
But her perfect disguise, her mask, is slowly falling apart and becoming undone.
She's tried her very best, to be happy and become who they all want her to be.
But she's finally giving up again, she wont be able to stay here for much longer, you will see.
