Is there an end?
The fire crackles deep in my heart –
I hear it!
The despair grows like a shadow –
Can’t bear it!
“My self-harm has stopped –
I swear it!”
But I lie!
The thick blood on my leg –
I’ve seen it!
You talk of depressed –
I’ve been it!
“I’m still so unhappy, –
I mean it!”
But you ignore!
All alone, by myself –
I’m afraid!
You think I’m so strong –
That I’m brave!
“How long will it be –
‘Til I’m saved?”
There’s no answer!
Because there’s no end to the vicious cycle!
