The S word

Many of us deep inside feel the need to be non-existent.

To be dead, to not see or feel.

To give up on everything so we cannot face our fears.

Whether or not self-harm or suicide is a sin, we will still think of how it all can begin.

Stuck in our minds, feeling like we have no luck to fight all these tides that have struck.

The cloud upon me is darkness with only sadness, with no light to shine.

Intrusive thoughts and an abusive mind are all that I can find.

Suicide and self-harm will never be the answer.

Do not let the pressure allow you to even destroy one of your feathers.

We will do this together, the clouds will be better and we will never be lesser.

If you are in harm or danger, there are many sources of help out there.

You can talk and they will listen.
