Walking through the halls with dull eyes Dull eyes that’s watching a dull life Full of nothing If I had a dollar for every time someone would ask me “Are you okay?” I’d be rich Because the amount of times that I’m seen walking through that corridor In a haze I can’t comprehend the world around me and I don’t want to I’m just a ticking time bomb until I finally snap and throw myself off of the building The world is so loud I can’t hear my own thoughts And sometimes that’s a good thing Then I can’t hear the ghost in my mind pushing me towards the edge But then I can’t hear the voice that’s trying to pull me away It’s quieter than the other voice But it wants to be heard through a world of noise And then when reality snaps me out of my thoughts When someone asks “Are you okay?”
But all that makes me think at first Does someone actually care? Is there a light that can save me? Should I reach out But then people will think I’m an attention seeker When I reach out for help I’m not looking for you to pay attention to me I’m looking for help I’m looking for someone to help me get better I’m looking for a shoulder to cry on when times get tough But all I could say All my mouth that’s weak from screaming to myself of how horrible I am All it could say was “I’m fine, I’m just tired,”
Like a liar I am tired Tired of the world Tired of the worlds ******* Tired of living Can’t anyone realise how damming of a word “fine,” is? Because I’m never fine I’m never even okay There’s still always that voice in the back of my mind Yelling at me to stay in my pit of depression I’m not okay I’m not fine I’m not tired I’m suffering And scared They say that every 40 seconds someone kills myself So in 40 seconds I might be dead Or I might be stuck waiting Waiting for that time Every 40 seconds That means over 800000 commit suicide every year And that’s a statistic That’s all it is If I **** myself I’ll become another statistic Another number in the worlds system of math But math was always confusing to me I’d get tangled up in the equations until I couldn’t get out Your stuck in that statistic so no one will notice you besides the people that you knew It won’t change the worlds suffering The clock is still ticking
Sometimes I feel like the world is caving in onto me It’s all collapsing I’m banging my head on the wall not because I’ve gone mad But because I strive to feel something besides emptiness I’m screaming out not because I’m scared that someone’s about to **** me and I need help It’s because I need to hear something and I need to hear myself talk How much noise do I have to make to be noticed When your suicidal You feel like you can’t do anything right You can’t even reach out for help right I had to have my mother find out Imagine that You open up my box of secrets to find blood stained tissues and blades Imagine a mother to realise that her baby girl has been going through so much but too scared to tell anyone to avoid the confrontation if everyone you know “Why would you do that?”
Saying that I’m fine through my teeth Faking a smile for so long until my own face hurts Blind from faking a light in my eyes to pretend they have some sort of life in them This is how I have to fight my inner demons Because I’m too scared to get help now So I’m waiting for someone to notice I’ve said I’ve stopped cutting myself But a week ago I drew the blade across my skin again This is a sign of weakness And a sign of my own battle The scars that will be embedded onto my skin forever now will haunt me As a demon that reminds me of my suffering And as a reminder to be strong A reminder that this isn’t just weakness That it hasn’t been my 40 seconds yet That I’m still not a statistic That I still have a smile somewhere I still have some light in my eyes That I am fighting with every fist and weapon I can gather Because sometimes to stay alive that’s what you’ve got to do Suffer to live In still fighting with whatever I can I’m using my voice because it’s all I’ve got left because everywhere else is numb from it all
I’ve planned my suicide Several times 4 times To be exact Whether it be with a blade Pills Rope Or just jump off my building I’ll become that statistic I dread of If I’m going to die it’s better to do it in silence People that die daily die in silence Because they’re too weak to talk anymore They’re talked all their life All of their words have been used up This is saying it This is speaking Louder than the screaming voice in my head Hoping that someone can take this and help themselves so they don’t become another statistic So they can do what they want to do to be happy Hoping that I can listen to myself That I’m not fine And that that’s okay
