It hurts,

Has for a long time,

It’s like being the last one on a dodge ball team,

And getting hit,

Letting it win,

Sometimes pills help,

But you’re at a point where they don’t,

People make it worse,

Bullies,

Ex best-friends,

Everybody,

Everything makes it worse,

They tell you you’re fine, 

But you know your not,

They tell you things to make you believe, 

It’s alright,

They tell you everything,

But tell you nothing at the same time,

The voice in your head just rambles on,

It’s not going to work, 

You can’t do it, 

I just want them to shut up,

I want to believe,

I want to be okay,

Is that too much to ask?


The author's comments:

This piece was written when i was going through a very hard time in  my life and was dealing with depression. Even though I still am, I'm ready to share this poem and hope that someone will read it and think of someone they know or think they resonate with this and hopefully save (or start) a life by taking action.
