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

How much more do they expect?
I confided
Only to be pushed and bumped.
Suicide
I give up.

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.
