Silence can be the loudest

The nod to your question

The quiet in my presence

My silence wasn't loud enbough for anyone to hear

 

I wish my mind could've been silent

That it didn't say such hateful things

That my silence could've screamed at you

That I needed help

 

I wish my mind was silent

That the "I hate myself"

Or the "I'm so worthless"

Especially the "You won't be missed"

Would just leave....

 

I wish you could've seen the bags 

From the tears I cried

I wish you would've held me

Told me everything would be alright

because it wasn't

 

I wrote the letter

I apologized a thousand times

but I wasn't sorry...

I wanted to be free

 

And to anyone who says I was weak

that hardest thing was to take those pills

Feel them burn me up inside

knowing

planning

to die

 

But I couldn't

no... My body couldn't

It was the bodily reaction that saved my life

My friends helping me on the side

 

After everything was said and done

I was no longer silent

no longer screaming in my head

I wouldn't allow another to fall down this path

 

To anyone who thinks that they are nothing

to the ones who are in the back

picked last

picked on

to the ones who feel they are forgotten

'unloved

all alone

To the ones that hate themselves....

 

Don't. Don't quit.

Show those people you deserve to be here.

Prove to yourself that you're worth something.

Love your friends, because they love you.

Don't hurt all the people who love you now... 

Believe. Love. LIVE.
