poem that i wrote on scrap paper. tw: mentions of self harm, suicidal ideation

Do you ever want to cry?

Of course

But do you want to drown in your own tears?

Oblivion at last

Your death a product of your own despair

Some might call this tragedy

But you're not a tragedy

Because tragedies matter

And what's another statistic,

that everyone ignores

But you are guilty too

Of ignoring your mind

Screaming in a cage of its own making

And you ignore the urges

Until they become overwhelming

And you're bleeding on the bathroom floor

And you pick yourself up

Clean up the mess

And everyone ignores the stains on the towel

The blood crusted beneath your fingernails

And then you start to lose hope

When they lie

Saying that your teenage years are the best you're gonna get

Bullshit

But I've lied too

Because this isn't you

It's me
