Self Harm Poems and Quotes

Fear

If people knew how depressed we are I like to think they would ask us this,
How do you get up and put on a smile everyday?

The answer to that is, we're scared. Scared of letting our walls down. We say its because we're tough and unemotional, it's a lie, we're scared. Scared that if one day we let down our walls and someone cares enough to notice we're sad, then they ask what's wrong. We're scared we'll actually let everything spill, everything we've held in for years will come spilling out and we'll be left crying . That is how we get up and fake a smile everyday, we're driven by fear.
