My brother, my world.

People are depressed
It sucks but
It's the truth
They joke haha
They smile wide
Inside however
It's a raging storm

My brother, my world
He put a belt around his neck
And sat in the bathroom
with the shower running
I almost lost everything that day

I went to school
The next day
Like it didn't happen
Then I heard a girl say
Ugh I'll just kill myself
She didn't study for the test
I cried my eyes out

She didn't know
About my life at home
But I just realized
People joke about it
Like it's okay ???

I'm not depressed
I don't think
But if I was
I would say
Please, Get Help!
I'm Not Okay!!
I almost lost everything that day

My brother, my world
Slammed his head
Against the floor
Blood kept dripping
I stayed up till four

Mental health is not a joke
It's dark and scary
Please be safe
And get help
My brother changed my life
But now we're okay
He tries his best everyday
