pretty sorry

by frog3

"just be happy!" that's not possible "you're faking it" look at the scars "if you're not happy, then die" do you think that does any good to me? "are you okay?" do I look okay to you? "you look sad" its worse than "sad" "they're just mad because of..." its not that, its everything "I'm not leaving you alone till you tell me what's wrong" nag me all you want and see if I care "if you're gonna give me the silent treatment, then that's on you." it's on you too "I was only friends with you because I felt sorry for you" I felt pretty sorry for myself, too

Yes this is amazing! Something I might add from personal experience is that sometimes for those who suffer in silence, it hurts so much to watch others say things like this, because while you relate, you can't help, because nothing can help the pain. Sorry I was rambling, overall such a great poem! Thank you.

this just just so amazing wow i seriously relate to this so much, and seeing someone else express this just kind of makes me want to cry and this is definitely legit like all those people who think depression is just "sadness" are really insensitive or merely uneducated because it's a much deeper well than that god bless <333
