It's killing you slowly
It's pulling you down
It's making you anxious
It's making you frown

The guilt is consuming
You know it's not right
But it's too addictive
You'll lose this fight

You sit in your room
With the music up loud
To drown out the sorrow
The angry black cloud

You try to ignore it
But know it's still there
That thing in your drawer
It kills the despair

Whole body shaking
But head is held high
You will not succumb
Won't break down and cry

'Stuff it' you think
You pull out the knife
Already addicted
'It won't wreck my life'

Without hesitation
You plunge it in deep
You drag it across
And the blood starts to seep

Tears threaten to fall
You look at your wrist
Think of your parents
Wonder if you'll be missed

Your head starts to spin
You fall to the floor
Inevitably
Comes the knock at the door

You glance down in panic
Knife still in your grasp
Too late, the door opens
Mum lets out a gasp

That look on her face
Of shock and despair
It says that things seem
Way beyond repair

But then she surprises you
Runs to your side
Holds you so close
That you don't want to hide

Cheek against cheek
Your tears mingling
Hug her back tightly
Arms tingling

And all of a sudden
It's finally clear
Sadness fades
Love starts to appear

Although at the moment
Things seem worse than bad
And this is the worst time
You've ever had

Things will get better
They always do
You can get through this
Your family and you

Keep all your friends close
Enemies far away
Don't listen to what
Negative people say

It may take time
As most things do
But the pain will fade
And we're all here for you
I wrote this for one of my friends who is going through a hard time at the moment, hope everything's better for her soon
