Don't Speak

mental health

i always ask myself:
"how can you help or save your friends or those around you but you can't even help or save yourself?"
one day i care more than others,
the next day i feel completely numb to others.

i forget to eat,
i forget to shower,
i don't care for my feet,
i don't care for these flowers.

i know i'm not like other girls, always obsessing how they look,
but you'll always see me behind a good book.

i don't shave every day,
i haven't behave at all today,
my hair is always a mess,
i don't always dress to impress.

i promise i'll change but today i'm doing just me,
maybe one day you'll see the real me,
one day i'll be happy and free,
that is a promise i will guarantee.
