Sadness and Depression
I ask myself this question a lot
“Why haven’t I killed myself yet?”
I have one reason
And one reason only
My baby brother
Suffering from depression takes a toll
It will also eat away at your soul
I don’t know what to do
I love him so much
I want to see him grow
So I put on this big show
Never letting anyone see through me
I don’t want help
I just want to end it all
All my sadness and depression
My own way
He’s only 4
He has a bright future and so much more
But what am I?
“Why haven’t I killed myself yet?”
I’m continuing to suffer
All for him
Everything I do
Is for him
I don’t want him to be broken even though he wouldn’t understand
I’m stuck here in this cursed land
Continuously growing my obsession with guns
But like I said
It’s all for him
Without him
There’s no me
I’ll continue my journey and hope to see some good come out of this.
