Hey mom?
Listen, i have to confess
I scream at a mirror which only reflects
My pain and fears i cannot cease
so both my wrists i’ve slashed and creased
Hey mom?
The doctor gave me these pills
He said they’d help me feel
As if i would be okay
But honestly? Nothing’s changed.
Hey mom?
I started crying in class
No, nothing’s really wrong
I just started
And couldn’t stop…
Hey mom?
Everything’s gotten worse
I think i need help
These thoughts always curse
Mom!?
Please listen, don’t turn
Your head away as if
You can’t hear my begs
MOM!?
Im bleeding from my arms
Ive reopend old scars
I’m counting pills as i swallow…
1, 2, 3, 4 ,5 ,6….10, 13,
Then...my vision was swallowed
Mom…
Hey….
The doctors say i have to stay
They said last night
I could have died
Then it would have counted as suicide
Mom…
What do you mean
You had no clue?
I wrote and begged
I gave you clues!?
All the words you would even speak
Is a simple
“It’s not depression, you’re just weak”
