I try with all my might just to stay alive
Stop with all the dumb hand jives.
The lies
Failing tries
Crying myself to sleep at night
I wake up and put that perfected false smile to show my friends that I am happy
To show them I am fine
People believing it
School making it worse
Rumors
The lies we all tell
About the people we hate
Not thinking about what we all go through
Causing sadness
Causing depression
Then they lie to their friends
Saying “ I am fine, guys. Just, please, stop worrying about me.”
Then right after she goes home, cuts to see the blood dripping off of her wrist
Crying ,
But happy  that the blood is a distraction from reality
Screaming,
With the fear of being caught with the knife in hand
Going for that third strike.
But that’s just her
We all are different
So,  let’s just take a second of our precious time
Use those 240 characters
And stop bullying.
Because of the effects,
The depression it causes.
Killing us all
Let me just say this now…
Just take the time
Use those mere 240 characters
To tell someone “Hi, I hope you’re having a good day… Wanna be my friend?”
To brighten the day that they are already dreading but the summative project
Being due in 10 minutes.
Driving them to insanity like a road trip that you don’t want to go on
A family vacation that they love.
Just for others to suddenly realize that you are never coming back.
Reminiscing on your life like it was the last tragic novel in a series.
But instead of finishing with with a happily ever after you end up falling into the twist and a pit of self pity.
