It’s no surprise I turned out this way

It’s no surprise, I turned out this way When asking for help never worked When my depression was brushed aside It was called other names I promise it’s not just sadness It’s deep depression And they would never accept It wouldn’t even cross their minds That someone like me, could suffer from something severe It’s no surprise, I turned out this way Wanna-be helpful talks and comparison of my life Is the closest thing to aid I’ll get It’s no surprise, I turned out this way I no longer want to ask for help So I keep my Illness to myself It’s no surprise, I turned out this way When even with obvious signs No one cares enough And finally, one day When I get the courage to end my life There’s a chance They’ll understand Why I turned out that way

poem is a powerful and poignant expression of the struggles you've faced, and it resonates with the profound emotions you've experienced. The repetition of 'It’s no surprise, I turned out this way' underscores the feeling of inevitability, as if you've borne the weight of your struggles alone for far too long. The lines about asking for help and having your depression dismissed are painfully relatable..
