⚠️Trigger Warning: The following poem contains subject matter pertaining to suicidal ideation⚠️
~

Hey,

Remember that time
you went to the bathroom

and you found the words

“I wish I was dead”

written on the stall
in purple marker?


Yeah,
That was me.


And before you
say anything
insensitive

(and you will say something
insensitive)


let me just cut to the chase:

if I did it for attention
I would have signed my name.

So don’t even *******
start with me.

~


But
to whoever wrote back,


“Don’t end your life—it’s precious”:


thank you for actually
caring

even if you didn't
know who I was.

And I guess
I hope you read this,
too.
