A Poem by Life With You is Like a Shallow Grave

When everyone reminds you
You’re the least important person in the room
And when they ignore the attempts
To reach out and reconnect once more
When the tears slide down your face
When depression is only a sweet escape
When you fall just to be caught
But when nothing happens you hit the floor
When the scars on your wrist
Are there just to remind you of your insecurities
When your insecurities are just there
To remind you of just how imperfect you are
When you dream of tomorrow
When you dream of yesterday
When your dreams lead you to nothing
But a sadness that keeps your heart on par
With when joy was a joke
When blood stained the streets
When hope was all that held them together
When everything seemed so bleak
When you laugh at optimism
When pessimism is your last and only friend
When it always seems to rain no matter what the weather
And you can’t help but seems weak
When even suicide seems so far away
For it won’t swallow you in its embrace
When you can’t even kill yourself
For the even your blood seems to hate you so
When your friends look on to you in pity
When they don’t even know why
When they stop caring enough to catch you
When they tell you it time to let go
When your accomplishments mean nothing
When you don’t even know what they are
When all you hope to accomplish is to succeed
In ending your own pathetic existence
When they tell you you’re insane
And you don’t care to ask why
When they say you have to go far away from anyone else
And you let then shun you without any resistance
When you finally feel how I feel
When you finally know what I know
Then and only then will I let you judge me
When that happens then I’ll let you love me
