Poem: #mentalhealth

And if God wants to help me, He can

But I’ve spent far too long waiting on a man

When I give up

Please don’t bother acting surprised

Such a shame

#mentalhealth

Where are the signs?

I was a plant in your window

That you didn’t much like

I was resilient though, blooming even when you forgot to water me

Until I realized it wasn’t because you forgot

I tried to grow, I really did

But after years of neglect

I started to whither

So when I give up

Don’t you dare act surprised

You watched me fade

Little by little

Each and every day

There were so many signs!

I stopped begging for you to water me

Text message left on read 4 months now

Snapchats unopened

But you can like my comment to boost the algorithm

I take my clothes off for money instead the cutting

People pay to see my body

Even though you

Said I was ugly

I don’t feel right praying to God anymore

Because how could he 

You.

Abandon me when I needed him

You

The most

We talk all about the last words of those who leave

It’s the last words of people who walked away

That haunt me
