The injuries
Nobody took you seriously until the injuries
You used to say you were struggling with depression
But nobody believed you
Until the scars on your arms were visible
You’ve been carving the words they throw at you into your skin
Just to show you were struggling with depression
But they didn’t care
They found it attention-seeking
How’d you get to this place?
Nobody took you seriously until the injuries
“Hey, kid, you’re back?”
Is something you’ve heard a million times
They see your arms, and yet they send you home
Can’t they see you’re struggling
You sit in your bed that night and decide this is the end
You didn’t care what they said in those padded rooms
You try to take your life
But it doesn’t work at all
You’re still alive
Nobody believed you until you tried to take your life
What’s the point of holding on when it’ll be spent in misery?
You carve the words of hatred into your skin
Just to show you’re struggling
The only diagnostic code they can see is that you don’t want to be alive
How’d you get to this place?
The place where they didn’t believe you until
the
injuries…
