Know..

They always tell me different
They always tell me to
But have they ever been where I am?
Have they ever been in this position?
The answer is most likely no.
They've never seen it
They've never known someone who did it
They've never known the feeling
They've never had to see the pain in her eyes everyday
They've never had to worry everynight that she wouldnt be there the next day
They've never had to face it
They've never had to feel it
But I've felt it,I've gone through it,I know how she feels
So,they always tell me different
They always tell me to tell someone
But she doesnt need that
I know what she needs
She doesn't need to be told she's wrong,she has issues,to be yelled at and told she's a freak
I know what she needs
She needs love
So you tell me different
But dont tell me anything
And tell me you know
Until you do,actualy do,
Know

This peice is about self-harming.It tells the story of a girl who's best friend self harms herself because of the tough times she goes through in life and not knowing what else to do. It tells that the girl doesn't want to tell anyone about her best friend because she knows that if someone finds out she'll have to face others and what they think of her. The girl has also gone through the same thing. So in this it says how when people found out about her depression and self-harming they judged her. People,even her own family, would say she's wrong,she has issues,she's a freak or a disapointment. And she doesn't want her best friend to go through that. She's saying how she will help her friend over come this herself, by loving her,caring about her.
