What Would You Say

What would you say, If I told you that I feel depressed? What would you say, If I told you that I considered committing suicide? What would you say, If I told you that I like the same sex? What would you say, If I told you that I cut myself almost daily? What would you say, If I told you that I am pregnant? What would you say, If I told you that I hate you? What would you say, If I told you that I've lied to you more times than I can count? What would you say, If I told you that the guilt has eaten me away inside? What would you say, If I told you that I'm just a monster inside by now? What would you say, If I told you that my mind is completely twisted? What would you say, If I told you that my thoughts are only evil? What would you say, If I told you that I am drowning in my lies? What would you say, If I told you that I want to make sure everyone dies? What would you say, If I told you that I'm done living my life? What would you say, If I told you about all my strife? What would you say, If I told you that we are done? What would you say, If I told you that killing you would be fun? What would you say, If I told you that I love you more than anything? What would you say, If I told you that you are much more than nothing? What would you say, If I told you that you are like the sun? What would you say, If I told you that I am going to die today? Would you say that you'll stay, And give me strength to break away Away from the hate Away from my fate Would you stay through my lies? Would you stay by my side? Would you leave me in the end? Would you let me die alone? All on my own?

Yes, I am more of an observer of other's mistakes so that I don't make as many of my own. I bring up these questions for others; to put life in perspective and if they are feeling like their life sucks. To help readers think, my life could be worse. Thanks for the warm welcome! I really appreciate it.

Nothing in the poem actually pertains to me, but I do think about 'what if something like this happens to me or a friend of mine?'

Deep scary questions. Yet a lot of these happens a lot in our societies.

Yes indeed. I tend to think of questions like this a lot, and I'm sure that others do as well.
