A hostage in plain sight
I'm not right in my mind
I'm really out of my mind
Thinking some crazy thoughts
Some about suicide
I don't know what to think
Much Less what to say
So I keep to myself
So maybe one day, just one day
I'll have the courage to speak out
Will I be able to explain, all these dark thoughts I have
or will I shut down
will they ignore what I say
or will they judge me
Could I trust them to help
and maybe get out,
out of this dark place I go
that will continue to grow
If I don't kill it right now
who knows if I'll make it out
This poem is about:
Me
My family
My community
My country
Our world
