You need help

You beg and plead

Your eyes are wide

Your wrists bleed

Who can help you?

You're lost and hopeless

Your parents won't listen

You feel almost boneless

You go to school

Cover up with sleeves

Your teachers don't question

They simply believe

They believe what you want

As you hide yourself away

As you suffer alone

In the light of day

The things you can't tell a teacher

But really you can

Although you don't think so

They truly understand

They were young once

Childlike, inexperienced, alone,

They went through things just like you

But if only then they had known

They had teachers too,

And teachers before them, and

They could have helped

They could have lent a hand

They made it through

And you can too

The things you can tell a teacher

May just save you.
