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.
