Jump Then Fall

No one understands when you come and play ball,
When you cry for help and none answers the call,
Or when you look for one awake in the time of slumber,
Just so you silence the voices that scream louder than thunder.

No one understands when you hide and seek,
When you hide within the shadows as your tears start to leak,
Hoping that those memories won't haunt you tonight,
Those memories that lurks and carries your fright.

No one understands when you play run and tag,
When you run away for those taglines those boys wrote on your bag,
And you choose to leave it all just to find peace and solace,
Yet all you find are insults and punches on your face.

No one understands when you choose to play doctor,
Hoping you could heal those wounds of valor,
But no healing happens, instead there were burning,
With stakes of insults, your tables never turning.

But no one knows when you jump and fall,When you hang that noose up the ceiling, not the wall,
When you slice your wrist, as you hear the church bells,
You never end depression, you pass it to someone else.
