The Daughter They Forgot

Ten years ago, another girl and I were sold into the mountains.

To buy me time to escape, they broke both her legs.

Because of this, they neglected me—the one suffering from severe depression.

They said, "You only have depression, but Wendy lost both her legs because of you."

But Mom, Dad, you're both psychologists.

Don't you know that people with depression don't want to live?
