A glimpse in the past

What happened to the bright and beautiful young girl that used to sing and dance and laugh with a big dimple in her cheek? What happened to the girl who was so pure before the Lord, dressed in white, getting lowered into the water and coming up with a gleaming smile that was filled with hope? What happened to the young woman who helped anyone and everyone in her path that she met that needed a smile, a friend, someone to love them? What happened to the older sister who protected and cherished her siblings and family so much that she would die for them? What happened to the young women who stood up for anything and proudly wore her young women's medallion and who went through school with eyes focused on the gospel and trusted the Lord with everything she had and would do anything in her power to love others? Satan got to her. He destroyed her. He told her lie after lie and tore her heart apart and left her screaming in the dark. He laughed and mocked in her face and in God's face for successfully destroying her. She was left, in the cold, heavy rain, dark night, to fend for herself. Alone. Forgotten. Broken. Emotionless. He got to her and there was nothing she could do. Wherever she ran, wherever she looked, it was black. Blacker than black that swallowed her whole. She tried to beg for help, but the chains that held her only grew tighter. She would never escape. She was invisible. No matter what tears streamed down her face, she knew she was alone. She gave up.
