state of confustion

“Hey, are you okay?”
I turned my face away and sighed.
“How many times have you asked me that today?”
What was I going to say, that I wanted to die?

When would these people learn?
I was never okay. I was walking numb.
Every moment I wished I could cut, and I hated your concern.
Even now I was digging my fingernail into my thumb.

“I’m fine, really.” I lied.
I was tired of living,
I was bleeding inside.
Depression was so unforgiving.

Yet I tossed out a smile.
You believed what you wanted to
I’ve fooled you for a while.
You chose to ignore, cause you didn't know what to do.

Now I lie here lifeless,
crying in life, fearful in death's travels
my many daydreams of suicide now a success
my hundreds of scars exposed, as the story unravels.

Spinning reality in your head, reeling from the impact
from a possible future the dream was sent
warning you, warning you, it's time to act
before a possible future becomes present

Wow been there before, I know what it feels like faking a smile and the people just believing you even though you really don't want them to... I guess it's just hard for them to understand what it's like. Hope you feel better but if you ever need to talk feel free to email me. Great poem
hunnie.
