Help, Notice, See
HELP she writes
NOTICE me she writes
SEE me she writes
Over and over on her body
HELP me change
NOTICE I’m not okay
SEE what’s going on
But people stare blankly
She covers the scars so no one will see
She wipes her tears and smiles
She surrounds herself with friends
She seems happy
HELP she writes
NOTICE me she writes
SEE me she writes
Every night hoping that one day someone will
HELP her change
NOTICE she’s not okay
SEE what’s really going on
She knows it’s too late for help
She knows she’s is at the point of no return
She knows she’s only prolonging the inevitable
It’s not a matter of if she’ll leave us
It’s a matter of when
She only wants someone to
HELP her change
NOTICE she’s not okay
SEE what’s going on
No one does so for the final time I carve
HELP
NOTICE
SEE
HELP
NOTICE
SEE
HELP
NOTICE
SEE
into my skin
until it covers my body
and I watch the flower bloom
A crimson one
Rooted in my veins
Stem pulsing with life
Only to bloom with the energy of my last breath
Leaving a breathtaking sight for everyone to find
All because nobody
HELPed me
NOTICEd I wasn’t okay
SAW me for what I was
and not what I told everyone I was
How can I blame them
Everyone who knew told me I hid it so well
