TRIGGER WARNING: mental health, depression, suicide

All you see is a 

Shinning Smile,

Flashing Teeth at

You,

Acting Silly,

Making you laugh;

But

What you don't

see is...

Crying myself to sleep,

Harming Myself, 

The Arguments with tears

in my eyes,

The Way I Truly Feel

You May Ask "are you OKAY?"

I want to say

"No Of course I'm not"

But I say "I'm Fine"

By that I mean 

Help Me

Save Me

Make me feel happy

Make me feel Joy

Once Again

You may see a date

But that date may

be another's Suicide

Date

You may say "your fine stop

Being DRAMATIC"

I'm Not

I'm Mentally not 

OKAY

Making me 

Physically Not

OKAY

I ask For help

No one 

hears

Hello, Are you deaf

Hello, Are you blind

I NEED HELP!

I make the pain

on the inside, Outside

Cutting, Burning,

Drugs, Alcohol,

Vapes, Smokes.

The only way to stop 

The pain on the inside

I care too much

I'm the therapist 

Friend

Why is it my responsibility 

to make your problems

BETTER?

Why can't you see I'm 

Dying Inside

This is a call for help 

To open your eyes, 

I'm Sick.
