She

I was diagnosed

With depression

They told me, to go on medication

But she said "No, it's just a phase."

Life became somewhat better after that

She wasn't as hard on me

And my demons for a while

Were at bay.


It's been a few months

And I made another cut

She promised to help me "We'll get you help, I'll help."

And for a while it was better,

But she soon forgot.


A while after

I began to cry myself to sleep

And dig that razor

Once again

Into my already

Scarred skin

But she just denied it

Saying, "I don't think your there yet."

And for a while

I thought she was right.


But now I know

She was always wrong

I need help

I need someone who will hold me

As I cry

Or stop me

From digging that razor into my skin

She was always wrong

But I can't help but lie

I know she will just get angry with me

Saying I broke her trust

But I can't help it.


Now all I want to do

Is take my final breath

Because I know

These demons are not phases

But if I told her

That I wanted to die

She would just deny

"It's just a phase."
