How would you explain.


you'll sit at home

at three o'clock in the morning

fighting your own personal demonds

like depression

debaiting.

debaiting wether or not to take your own life.

but

remember, when you think nobody cares

or nobody will miss you.

or when you think everyone will be happy

just remember the woman who gave birth to you

what would she say?

walking in on you talking a handfull of pills,

or a razon to your wrist?

how would you explain it

her eyes will fill up with tears.

she'll blame herself

Or think of your bestfriend

the one who has always been there for you

but you and her are in an argument

and she sees the scars

or she comes to your memorial

she blames herself 

gets depression - she never got to say goodbye

she couldnt live with the guilt.

she will blame herself .

how would you explain if you younger sister walked in

how could you tell her you dont think you are good enouth

that you are fat

ugly

worthless

you couldn't explain it

because she will correct you

because your not fat

your not worthless

nore ugly

they'll sit with you

and cry and talk to you

they will ask why

and they will help you

so if your crying on your bedroom floor

at three o'clock in the morning

debating life

just remember there are people who love you

and care about you.
