Pull Me Back

My depression pulls me

Towards the knives

The pins

To anything with a point

You, my Knuffen

Pull me back

Away from the things many people fear

The things that bring forth my blood

And make my skin red with pain

Away from death

You, my Little Boop

Pull me back

Offer me places to hide from the people who weigh me down

You, the guy who I've never seen your face

Pull me back

Offer me comfort with long paragraphs

And to a nerd like me

They are the most comfort anyone could offer 

You, my friend from school

Pull me back

The person who I rarely get to talk to 

But when we do

I always feel safe

No matter our topic

You, my brother

Pull me back

While we both struggle to say words to each other

The struggle is not for the lack of words

But the understanding we share without them

We need only say something once

And I always feel safe with you

All of you

You are the ones who pull me back

You are the ones who keep me here

You are the ones who have the power to let go and stop caring

And let me go to all the points

And to expose my blood to oxygen

But you don't

You are the ones who pull me back


There are so many people contained without the poem who I want to give a shout out to and say who they are but really they know who they are. pun_lover HeyItsLiam DiviouslyLost are a couple of the people mentioned. The other two either don't have a wattpad or want to remain anonymous so if you really care you'll have to do some stalking but please don't that's just weird :P You guys know who you are and I just want to say thank you again. I can't say it enough, it's days like these where I'm so glad that I'm still alive.
