Poem: Do You See Me Now?

Trigger warning ⚠️

---

I could scream
I could shout
Nobody in this world
would hear a sound

I could be
in your face
unleashing everything
all of my pain
And after pretending
you didnt see a thing
you’d casually turn
and walk away

Maybe if I went
into a crowd
and put a barrel
to my crown

Tell me, tell me
everybody around
do you, oh do you
see me now?

Only after
I’m put in my grave
would you then have
something to say

“Only if
he could’ve been saved
Only if
he would’ve just said hey”

Tell me, tell me
everybody around
do you, oh do you
see me now?

I feel my poems gradually getting darker. It’s strange, because I’m actually in a decent place mentally.

Disclaimer: In no way am I attempting to romanticize suicide, nor am I in any way encouraging such an act. My poems are simply self-expression; nothing else.

Thanks for reading!
