She sat in the dark
No sounds in the house
Except the ticking of the clock
Marking another moment
Full of hopelessness
She was despondent
Afraid to try anymore
And at the end of her rope
…
Some days she looks back
On that day in her life
The one that was almost her last
How she climbed out of that hole
With the help of a friend
Starting with one simple sentence
“What’s wrong?”

Just shows how one simple phrase can change the course of sometimes life. Great writing Leigha.
