I'm holding onto this rope
My hands are getting tired
So let me use my throat

Society is ****** up because we let it be

Breathing hurts for months on end
A privilege for you
Is a battle for me
Another scratch
Another tear
Another laugh to hide my fear
Another day I hide my pain
I tell them it was all the same
I said it's fine
That I don't get bullied, taunted, or teased
That's a lie
I want to cry
The bullies don't stop
It's up on top
It's in my head
Cry in bed
Just a phase is what they say
Another cut
Another scratch
Another lie
Until I Die

Being brave is smiling even though you want to cry
Being brave is not leaving those you love because you can
Being brave is staying alive just because you don’t want to hurt others
Being brave is crying at night and not telling anyone in fear of them being worried
Being brave is helping others with their problems even though nobody helps with yours
You are brave
You smile through the pain
Hide your feelings so I don’t hurt
You never asked for help
Or cried aloud
You stayed with me when I cried and had a bad day
Or when I wanted to talk
You talked first I never said hi first
When you asked for help I left you hanging
When you wanted to talk I was busy
Now you don’t talk to me
And when my days are long and I need to talk
You aren’t there because I never was
We smile in passing
No words escape your lips
Just silent cries and it’s pretty sad
I loved you the most when you were saying goodbye
