Chronic Depression

Thu, 03/03/2016 - 15:26 -- nschimm

diagnosed at twelve

hold head under water swallow pills cut cut cut cut

still breathing

flinch when someone jokes about self harm

"kill yourself" laugh it off

vomit in the trash can

cry at two in the morning

stay positive, though

look for the bright side

one day i'll get surgery

one day i'll adopt cildren

one day i'll know what to do

but not right now

never right now
