Mental Disorder poems

{Blame//Poem 2}

I love how when people die of cancer,
They blame cancer.
But,
When someone commits suicide because of depression or another mental health problem,
They blame the person.

They say things like,
"They could've just reached out"
Or
"Why didn't they just go out more?"
ect.

The person didn't choose to have depression,
The person only chose suicide because it was getting too much for them and society makes it seem that if you try to get help you're weak.
They make you feel ashamed of it.
Why.
Why the fuck do they make it out to be a joke?
I see it all the time,
People joking about committing suicide.
It shouldn't be this way.
We need to stop making jokes out of the ones who are suffering,
Instead,
We need to help them through the dark tunnel of depression they're walking through.
And help them see another day,
So they can hear the birds in the trees chirping at the crack of dawn again,
So they can breathe in the clean, fresh air after a thunderstorm again,
So they can feel the warm water trickle down their body in the shower and have nothing but happy thoughts,
So they can live a full, happy life until it's the end of their life.
And lastly,
So when it's their true time to leave this planet,
They regret nothing and they feel fulfilled.
And feel like they can rest peacefully for the rest of eternity.
