I'm not depressed
I can still smile
But sometimes when I'm alone I lose
the feelings that are vitalI'm no longer suicidal
I won't dare use the gun
But sometimes I wonder what would
happen if I jumpedI won't try to die
Not actively at least
But I still know accidents happen, and
they may never ceaseMy head still remembers
The feelings of relief
The itching comes back but I resist
the needI'm trying I promise
To make it all right
Sometimes though it still gets hard to
fightShouldn'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 madeI know you think I'm better
I know you say you care
But instead of talking to you, I'd
rather talk to airYou tiptoe around my feelings
Pretend you understand
Yet never have you ever extended a
helping handDo whatever you want
It's not my place to say
I only have one reason that I came
here todayI've come to make a statement.
I've tried with all my might.
My goal writing this poem is to
remind myself to fight.
