When falling into the darkness

Location

When falling into the darkness all you see is black,

I called for help but all I got was darkness.

You beat me down and say I am weak,

but I am the stronger of us two.

People may just walk past when you push me down,

but everyone will here my call when it is too late.

Being a bully,

the perpetrator.

What am I?

Your victim.

but why?

Why must I be pulled into this chaos when I am nothing but inoccent.

This is not about suicide.

This is about awareness.

Never take someone for granted.

I AM NOT A PUNCHING BAG.

I AM A HUMAN BEING.

NEVER TAKE KINDNESS AS WEAKNESS.

Because in the end our kindness makes us the strongest of all.
