"Failing is Failing to Try"


You left me to perish in my own self harm.

You stole my humor, happiness, and charm.

You let me go

You watched me fall.

It was like you didn't care if I was there at all.

I cried and told it all to you. Maybe you would help if you knew?

But you just laughed and turned away, because you thought it wasn't true.

You said there was nothing wrong with me, but could you really see?

So you left me with a lock and you threw away the key.

And now, I was chained to my brutal agony.

In chains I fought but I was blind with pain

and I couldn't see the point in trying to fight again.

Just because you ignored it all,

I had been broken after my fall.

Will I really be there when it is you; being harmed like I had been to?


The author's comments:

We all face anxiety, depression, or other forms of upsetment in our lives. This is a relflection on my life. Sometimes I'm facing extreme anxiety, and I feel I need help right away. The people I tend to turn to for help just yell at me for panicing or just downplay my feelings. Regardless of how someone expresses their emotions, try to be there for them, always. It is horrible being left inside your mind to deal with the pain on your own.

And for those who feel alone right now, remember that it will not be that way forever. There are people in this world who care about you, even if it doesn't feel that way in the moment.
