They did their job


I am dying.

Yes my heart is beating

But my mind,

And my soul is suffering

 

But that doesn’t matter,

Because my heart is beating

I’m breathing

I’m alive

 

Happiness isn’t important

Mental health isn’t important

 

Mental health isn’t important for a mental health disorder?

That’s funny because I thought they would care if I hate myself

If I cry every day

If I am done with life 

 

But no,

Because I eat the piece of bread,

Drink the chocolate milk

And my weight is up

 

Everything is fine.

I’m fine

I’m alive

I’m unhappy, so unhappy

But I’m alive

 

So they did their job.
