a letter to someone I know
Stop twitching every time you mumble those around you worry
they wonder what you say under your breath when you make those jokes people get uncomfortable unsure of whether to laugh along
or call the police
stop shaking
the panic attacks you have in the corner make those around you uncomfortable
do we ask you if you need help
you walk with such a sadness
and rhythm to you
the type that says you rather be dead
i can't tell if we should worry
or if it’s just who you are
and you hear all these stories about people dying
but you think oh that could never happen to someone i know
until it does
so don't go
and ask for help
we miss you
we will miss you Stop twitching every time you mumble those around you worry
