I can't help I'm depressed,
I can't help but cry,
So why try?
But you don't see that,
Because to you I'm always alright.

Don't mind me I'm not okay,
But there is no reason to pretend I am,
I'll end up dead anyway

I saw you by the window, thought you were crying alone.
I reached out to you and held your hand
It was wet with red liquid gushing out of the broken wrist
'nd I realised you were dying alone

needs a dark mode
my eyes burn
it's too bright
when I can't sleep at night
I really want to read poetry in the dark

"I hate my life."
"I want to die.'"
It's what they all say
But really
All they want
Is for life to be perfect
And if that's what they're waiting for
Then they might as well just **** themselves
Because life will never be perfect
It is messy
And crazy
And incomprehensible sometimes
But if there was no darkness
Was there ever any light?
I don't really understand this myself. Tell me what you think it's trying to say because I surely don't know.

my words have always been the strongest part of me.
solid, loud;
they scream my thoughts for me when i can't even get out a whisper...
but lately i haven't been writing as much.
my once resilient syllables are now translucent snowflakes
floating in the air, shattering on my bedroom floor
with each tear.
they are unsure of themselves, a string of vowels and consonants
so violently aware
that there's been a change;
my words have finally failed me.
