Dear Society
Stop making fun of people’s sadness
Mental illness isn’t a joke,
So stop joking about it
Stop leading the brave to their weakest state
The suicidal urge when no one seems to care
You don’t know the half
This shit gets real
Girls starving themselves because they want to meet society’s ideal
Lying awake at night thinking could my dream finally be real?
Finally having a thigh gap
Barely having a lap
All those nights you spent leaning over the toilet sticking you fingers down your throat
Could it finally be worth doing all that?
Maybe, just maybe
Your expectations
Is what’s giving those rehabs all those patients
What’s it like running someone at just the age of ten?
Dear society,
You will never hurt me again.
