Because we're stronger than that
why do we refuse others when they call for help?
why do we stick the friend on a shelf?
you've heard their cries
but you told them to stop being a baby and be strong,
its not easy to move along when your alone in your room,
the moon only points out the darkness
and sun is to bright when you want to go outside
but there was one night when they really called for help
they were tired of doing it by themselves
so instead of you hearing the cries of a friend
you hear the words "i want to die tonight"
you try to talk them out of it
but with every word, a pill is swallowed
and you feel your friend getting killed is going to follow
so you finally call 911 in hopes that they will do something
This is a poem about myself....
one night and one friend who called for help because i needed it
and 45 pills later
she saved me and every day i say thank you for saving my life,
that one night....
Now i sit here and laugh
because i am stronger than that
we all are
