They Don't Know
The one person I didn't want to know knows
But no one knows it all
They know of my depression
But they do not know of the marks spanning down my arms and thighs
They know I am struggling
But they do not know of the suicidal thoughts that plague my mind
They know I sometimes struggle to leave my bed
But they don't know of the images of blood dripping from my arms in two, long lines in my fantasies
Or the air whisting in my ears as I fall fall fall
Or the blood I spill to stop myself
They know I am depressed
But they don't know what it means

Me
My family
