A Girls's Life

Mental Illness?

Does it count as a mental illness if you want to have a mental illness?

No one understands me, I want to be sick

If you want to save me, you have to be quick.

I used to cut and watch the blood fall out

But I didn't know what any of it was about.

I thought I could get attention and love

Instead you flew away from me with a dove.

That last rhyme didn't make too much sense

You would never guess what kind of consequence

I have to suffer through for all my life,

It's just some guy who wants me to be his wife.

He showers me daily with his affection

But I'm sad to say that I feel no connection

Some say I'm unappreciative, or unimaginative

But I just say that I'm unattractive,

Not only to me, but to the rest of the world

Even to my crush, who just happens to be a girl.

They all want to push me off the surface of the Earth

All of this reminds me of just how much I'm worth

It feels like absolutely nothing at all

And every time I say this, my father will fall

down from the sky in a ball of light.

To stop me from crying, it takes all my might.

And then he'd say "I'm disappointed in you."

And after all I've done, I'd agree with him too.
