She knew not one, but all problems she had.
When she looked in the mirror, she saw someone sad.
Who she was, where she goes,
a girl attacked, not seen by foes.
Give her stability, not pity or grief.
Gather your strength and set her free.
Whether alone or together, she always feels,
the weight on her shoulders, the abusive stares.

I wrote this in honor of National Suicide Prevention week. If you see someone struggling, don't pity them. Let them know you are there for them. Don't judge them. You don't know their story.
Thank you for reading.
