I feel your pain,
It resonates from every room you enter,
I can see your isolation,
Like a clear line around your body,
Why are you so sad?
What’s upsetting you so much?
You seem to have been so sad lately,
What’s wrong?
Perhaps you should know,
That what you are doing to yourself,
Is killing the rest of us,
You are hurting us,
Last night,
I cried myself to sleep,
The scars on my legs,
Were made for you,
Your brother is scared,
He is worried beyond belief,
He is panicking,
About you,
Daddy is stressed,
Why do you think he yelled?
He can’t understand your reasons,
That is why.
Why are you doing this?
Don’t you understand that we are here?
Ready to dry your tears,
Ready to take your pain.

This poem is dedicated to my sister who seems to have been very depressed lately, for no apparent reason. It is a terrible piece of writing, but I needed to express myself quickly.
