I love you

Swimming by myself in a too-deep pool I’ve never felt so alone in this school My grades- they’re slipping My brother and I- we’re fighting My mom keeps shouting that I’m never right And I’m so sleep deprived, I see the light I made a mistake and got suspended Now I only think about being rescinded Everything- my grades, my life, my health I’m losing it all- I’m losing my wealth Off I go, go back to my bathroom And with a knife, I welcome my doom Cutting myself, letting my blood drip To the open gates of hell, down it slips And as I’m about to cut more and more I hear my phone vibrate right by the door “Hey, haven’t talked to you in a minute. What’s up with that? I miss you, damn it” I pause, I look, I think About how I was letting myself sink And it dawns upon me, all anew There are people out there who care about you Now I’m no poet, I’m sure you see that But I’m here to say, that knife goes down and back Tread through that negativity Swim to positivity I did it, and now I’m standing by you To see to it, that you do it too I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you Don’t lose this fight, don’t you dare lose
