Skeletons are out

Each night is the same.
Cry
Cut
Numb

Unhealthy obsession
Dictating every decision.
Fight just to surrender
Don't even bother no more.

No light at the end,
No hero is coming,
Just me and my addiction
Here in the dark.

It is no secret
This is no mystery.
It is displayed
On every inch of me.

Look closely, you'll see,
Faded but there.
White lines showing,
Red lines hiding.

Day after day
Week after week
Month after month
Year after year.

The skeletons are out
For every one of us.
No more hiding
No more ignoring it.

Its out.
Depression
Suicide
Self harm.

You cant put us in the back.
Accept us now
We are done hiding.
We are fighting.

Fighting our demons,
Fighting society
For to long
We have been hiding.
