You Matter

A shimmering knife A oozing cut Not too deep You'll hit the vein Tug down your sleeve They mustn't see Their worry and fear It won't change the hurt They don't really see Just push you towards doctors Never think to ask What's in your mind Or to tell you that you matter They're all to busy And your cuts go deeper Till one day it's deeper A cut straight up the arm Slowly you will bleed Till you lay in a red sea The foot steps come closer As the world goes darker A door swings open And the final dark takes over

Wow amazing. Tough subject to covey to others. But this is good and delivers the message of no one cares or listens to me. Great job.
