WARNING: If you're easily triggered, please don't read this. People love you and I don't want this to be a reason for you hurting yourself.

You see the cuts.

You call me crazy.

I feel the hurts.

Everything's a little hazy.

Walls around my heart, soul and mind.

Pushing away anyone the least bit kind.

Because everything is heavy,

everything is numb.

I hear things no one else hears.

I see things everyone fears.

But I still soldier on.

Because I've already come so long.

You're in my head,

saying things best unsaid.

Making me feel like I don't deserve to live,

making me think I've got nothing to give.

You call me all those hurtful names.

You play with my feelings,

playing those stupid games.

But I still soldier on.

Because I've already come so long.

This poem is dedicated to one of my classmates who was teased so much, she felt the need to staple her arm 17 times. Don't let anyone put you down. There's always going to be haters. Please, they aren't worth it.

No matter how dark the road is, no matter how desperate everything feels, don't give up. Continue soldiering on. Because stopping would mean beginning again.

Love,
