Self-harm, suicide, mental illness aren't joking matters

They're real, and they happen all around you

Your best friend could be depressed, and you might never know

Until they're in the hospital for attempted suicide

Someone you see every day could be cutting themselves

And you'd never realize, until they slip up

Showing the world their skin, littered with red lines

Pay attention to every small detail

Because you never know anyone as well as you think you do
