Fight it

To think someone ever cared about me

To think someone would acknowledge me

Or at least the pain I felt

Before I gave up

Just one, "are you ok?"

"Are you alright?"

I couldn't take it anymore

I just wanted it all gone

I didn't care what I did

I just wanted it all to disappear

Maybe I should leave

Or just go to sleep and never wake up

Maybe I should just jump

All I feel is the numbness of my emotions

The cold touch of my madness

And the bitter taste of what is called betrayal

I know exactly where the bridge is

So why don't I jump?

Why don't I just give up?

But what would that do

What would that accomplish

It would just hurt the people I know

I will be known as the quitter

The weak one

The one who couldn't handle it

I will just be forgotten

So is it worth it

Am I that petty that I would give up

No wait, what about that one person

The person who talks to me

The one that can make me laugh

Is it with it to hurt the only person that I trust

The one that makes me happy

The only one who won't judge

So is that person going to be the hero

The only one in the frontlines

Fighting to help me from the irreversible

Maybe I should wait

Take a break

Make a way to see the light again

So I can fight for my life

With the only person that can heal the scars I still have

And save me from the humiliation of death by my own hands.

And rekindle the dying flame of hope that once was almost extinct.
