Someday

Be careful what you say. Words go a long way, and someday, it'll go too far.

Yes, I cry
But I built a wall
It's fragile
Be careful
Don't touch it
Or the world will go wrong

Someday, when I hold that blade
I'll push a little harder
And it'll go in
It will hurt
But everything will feel alright
Again and again

Someday, when it's dinnertime
I'll skip it
Then breakfast, lunch
And dinner again
I'll feel thinner and it'll be okay
The habit, there to stay

Someday, when my hands grasp my throat
I'll push a little harder
Until I make myself choke
But in that moment it'll at last be fine
No breath to breathe
No need for reason or rhyme

Someday, when I stand on the edge of that cliff
I'll lean forward
A little more than I should
I'll plummet to the rocks
And I'll never stop
That is, until there's nowhere to drop

Someday, you'll realize it's all your fault
You murdered that little girl
With your petty insults
Your cruel voice
Your thoughts and ideas absurd
Don't be the reason she makes that awful choice

It is sad how a lot of people go through this, not only just thoughts but actually following through. I think we all have some thoughts similar to these from time to time even if we refuse to do them they are still there trying to break us down. We all feel pain but that doesn't mean we should give up.

Good Job

I agree. I know all too many people with this struggle, and fear losing any of them. Even I have the same problems a lot of the time. I don't plan on giving up anytime soon, and I hope they don't either.

Thanks!

Yeah, I think at those times people just need to be reminded that people care for them, so being there for them might help them come away from those types of feelings but everyone is different.

You're welcome
