Poems and quotes

The real reason

The reason teens are depressed
isn't because we're sensitive
Not there's too much pressure on us
from school, our families of the media

But because we aren't willing
to help ourselves
we've become used to the sadness
the anxiety, the lies, the starvation
and we are somehow comforted
by the blade on our skin
or an empty stomach

it has become such a routine
that at the end of a day
full of pain, heartache and suffering
we are relieved to be met
by a blade
