Lately I've been trying

To see again

The reasons why I still breathe

My heart still pumps

My blood still flows

My brain still works

My legs still work

Tears still flow

People still care

I'm still alive

Why

I can't see reasons

So why even bother

My friends tried their best

To make me feel better

Buy they proved unsuccessful

And it's my fault

I'm balling my eyes out

And I can't stop

My lungs hurt

From the tightness in my chest

From the bullying I endure

From people saying suck it up

It's an endless cycle

One I can't end

Nor my mom

Friends

Family

Teachers

No one

And my mind's gotten the worst

I can't take mental breaks

I can't talk to anyone

I can't do anything

Not anymore

Like I've been cuffed

And I can't get free

Not now, not ever
