Scholarship: Suicide Awareness

Wed, 02/12/2020 - 13:26 -- emilyu

Freshman year,

I made a dark promise:

“I would kill myself before I graduated.”

I didn’t tell anybody.

 

Sophomore year, 

I finally told my friends.

No one thought I was serious. 

They all laughed

But

I wasn’t.

 

Junior year, 

I felt fine. 

I was once alone and scared 

But

I wasn’t now. 

My mind had changed

And I was looking forward to the future.

 

Senior year,

I’m alive. 

I had broken the only promise I made to myself.

I made a new dark promise:

I would stay alive.

Even if I didn’t want to.

 Hi! I don't know if this is how you apply or not but I hope it is.
