When I tried to tell someone how I felt How I felt like a failure How I didn't have a will to live How I looked to the future, And only saw pain
They said, "You don't look that sad, And anyway, You're young. You're probably exaggerating. A young, healthy person, Would not feel like that."
I know I don't look sad I practice every day So no one sees my pain
I know I am young At least in years But I have seen and felt So much In the short time I have been here
I know this. But I am not okay. I am not young. And I am not healthy.
My heart, soul, and mind have aged Far beyond my years
And I am not healthy I have not eaten in days 3 or 4 I think I did not sleep last night And got less than an hour the two nights before I slice my own skin open To bleed the bad things out And my mind has put me On the verge of death And taking my own life
Do you think that is healthy?
As for me being okay... I think my tears and blood Can speak for themselves
I hate that no one takes me seriously because I'm 'too young to know what pain is'
