better... or not?

I wanted to say 

I'm getting 

better now 

sort of

I went to a doctor 

she gave me 

medicine 

I don't know 

if it's helping or not 


I have

a therapist 

and I am trying 

to open up 

about my feelings 

the hardships at home


But... 

I cut 

myself 

I'm sorry 

I don't want 

you all 

to be mad. 


the feeling

it felt like joy 

at first 

but then 

I felt

guilty 


what if 

I had 

done more? 


I've gotten messages 

from others 

some kind ones


someone said 

tell 

your grandparents 

about 

what goes on 


I can't 

grandpas 

dead 

grandmas 

live 

in another 

country 


then there's other messages

there's those people 

who don't believe 

that I want 

to die. 


I'm not 

going 

to say 

anything bad 

so 

if you don't believe me 

that's fine 

but I do 

want to die 

and I know 

that sounds horrible


then 

there's the people 

who do want me 

to die. 

I got a message 

saying 

"kill yourself and

no one will care." 

maybe 

it's true. 


I'm scared 

not for me 

but for my family 

well- my online one 

I called 

my aunt 

left 

a voicemail 

she cares 

a bit 


my friend 

she did 

what I want to do 

kill 

herself

crying 

was involved 

in my life 

for a long time


my therapist 

has showed me 

what I 

can cause 

if I 

do it 


I don't 

want to cause 

anything 

bad 

for all 

of you. 


I don't 

want to be 

the reason 

for your 

depression 

anxiety 

death


I'm really sorry 

for all of this 


I'm getting better 

I think 


but at the same time 

I couldn't want 

to die 

more.
