Have you ever wondered to yourself
Why anything matters?
Why you matter?
Have you ever thought about
How stupid you are?
How overreactive,
Insensitive,
Boring,
And ridiculously anxious you are?
Have you ever wondered why
Your friends decided to stick around?
They only know the happier version of you,
Not the one you keep hidden,
Not the one that has wanted to die
For at least a year now.
Have you ever asked yourself
Why you are the way you are?
Why are you so depressed?
You have money,
You have a family,
You have friends...
But why are you always so down?
Why is your brain always cloudy?
Why don't you eat more?
... And you don't know the answer to any of these questions?
Have you ever said
"I just don't feel well..."
Like you're talking about a stomach ache,
When really,
You haven't felt well for years on end?
Your physical health is fine...
But what about the inside suffering?
Have you ever changed
Into what feels like a different person?
Where it's more depressed,
More angry,
More anxious,
More... strange than usual?
Have you ever asked yourself
Why you aren't pretty?
Why you aren't good enough for him to want you
And just you?
Have you ever wondered
Why you think you aren't skinny enough?
Why you wake up,
Not feeling hungry or thirsty,
Just feeling...
Dead?
Have you ever wondered why
You hate yourself so much?
Why you haven't found the "happy place"
That everyone is talking about?
Why,
