I’m afraid I’ll become another statistic
Another body hanging from a closet because I felt lonely
Another number, added to a presentation explaining why mental health matters
I’m afraid I’ll become a trigger
Become a warning
Become a body in a casket, birthday plastered on a gravestone
Broadcasting how young I was and how little I lived
I’m afraid I’ll become another story
Another body whose soul was taken a long time ago
Another face, with comments saying rest in peace and begging that people take mental health seriously
I’m afraid I’ll become a trigger
Become a memory
Become a body whose not present, making dinner conversations uncomfortable
Broadcasting the grieving of loved ones
I’m afraid
I don’t wanna be a trigger warning
