I never realised I wanted to die until I tried.
I lay on the road and waited.
My cousin pulled me off.
I didn't realize just how ****** up my life was until Idid.
'I'm concerned about your mental health'
The very first time in my entire life that I had heard those words.
But not from my mum. I dare not talk to her about this.
No, then she felt like she failed,
I am aware, but don't tell her.
You name it, I've tried.
I was bored and knew that nobody would miss me
Bleach, starvation, insomnia, glass, blades, hypothermia
And I'm still here.
The mark on my body remains, a show to me and everyone
especially my mum,
That I did it on my own
I got through all that **** on my own
without help
and am strong
a whole lot stronger than I may have seen
because I don't take **** from anyone.
I'll talk, I promise.'
I tell her this so she knows that I am trying
I'm burnt out now
My doctors, my dad, my teachers and friends tell me
I need to step back
I have done all that I can, and now it's her turn.
Doesn't anyone know that she won't?
Can't you realise that it's stupid?
She'll be my mum for a month at most,
Then something will happen, and I will be taken out on me.
I prefer it then anyone else, though's for sure.
My younger siblings will live in false security
As long as she doesn't take it out on them
Look my way, mum,
I don't want to die
But I exist and do not live.
