Excellence Award in the 'Inspired 2019' competition

Evil sometimes lives in my bones
Sounds of screams run through my mind
Feeling despondent
Something needs to change
Is it all just in my head?
Sleep is not my best friend
Darkness is all I see in my dreams
I know there is a way to the light
I will beat this with close family and friends
I will strongly hold onto hope
Because hope lives in all of us
