Mental Health Issues

- Self Harm -

It starts with overthinking, most of the time at least
Some say that's too much to handle
Can you blame them?
Of course not

When someone thinks of hurting themselves in some way
It seems at the moment to be the only solution
Anyone else will say it's absurd
But put yourself in their shoes

Do you know how it feels to be stuck in bad thoughts?
To not be able to think of a happy moment to get yourself out of this dark place
To try something so self destructive that it seems to be the solution
The only way out

Well, that's how it feels
Sometimes, it doesn't matter how hard you try to stop
It doesn't matter if it's bad
You only are trying to help yourself
Even if you don't or if you do know it's bad for your own good

So take a moment to think
Don't tell them it's absurd
It's their only way
Maybe try to help with what they want, not what they need

And maybe then, they will let you help them with what they need
