Poem: Loving Ourselves

I caught you today

In the act

You told me to go away

I asked what you were hiding

Although I knew it was a knife, you didn't show me

You told me nonchalantly, although I could tell you felt like crying

Mabey I was to busy drowning in my own depression I missed what was happening to you

You tell me everything, but not this

I'm afriad for us both now

This isn't something I can simply dismiss

I've thought about ending myself or creating pain to numb it all

I get extremely sad

But never once did I have the desire to do it

I knew you were going through a hard time, but I never imagined it this bad

So we're both suffering and mourning together

I never expected you to cut yourself

You seem so much happier then I am

You always seem to be so bright and full of love that you love me and love yourself

I guess we were both wrong

I thought you outgoing

You thought me strong

We will get through this

I know we can

We will come out alive, from this dark abyss

We will love eachother

Until we learn

To love ourselves
