Fight

I'm not depressed
I can still smile
But sometimes when I'm alone I lose
     the feelings that are vital

I'm no longer suicidal
I won't dare use the gun
But sometimes I wonder what would
       happen if I jumped

I won't try to die
Not actively at least
But I still know accidents happen, and
        they may never cease

My head still remembers
The feelings of relief
The itching comes back but I resist
       the need

I'm trying I promise
To make it all right
Sometimes though it still gets hard to
       fight

Shouldn't i be cured
I've done everything I was told
Do I need to do this until I grow old?

I take my medications
I've hidden away the blades
Yet sometimes all I feel is the
     emptiness it made

I know you think I'm better
I know you say you care
But instead of talking to you, I'd
        rather talk to air

You tiptoe around my feelings
Pretend you understand
Yet never have you ever extended a
          helping hand

Do whatever you want
It's not my place to say
I only have one reason that I came
       here today

I've come to make a statement.
I've tried with all my might.
My goal writing this poem is to
       remind myself to fight.
