Remembering the Day

I remember the day
I was called out of class
I walked down to the office
My hands were clasped

I sat in the chair there
Crying out loud
Tiffany came down then
To bring me some cheer

We laughed and we talked
As we ate the school lunch
And we almost forgot
Why we were there

But the cuts on my wrists could not lie
The phone call had been made
And we silently waited
For my parents to arrive

We passed the time as best we could
I wrote a note to my closest friends
I told them not to worry
I’d be back soon

The car ride was long
And I soon fell asleep
But I cannot forget
The day of my fate

I was sent to Ridgeview
Where I had an evaluation
I was admitted as an inpatient
And diagnosed with depression

I’m finally out now
And on the road to recovery
But the memories stay with me
And the scars remind me
Or that horrible day I was taken away
