Dan and Phil One Shots (2)

Help

Honestly, I've felt like utter crap today. I had a mini breakdown once I got home from school because I'm so freaking stressed with my school work? It's all my fault though because I find it so hard to get motivated and concentrate haha... whatever, enough about me and my bad day!

I haven't written a poem one shot thing in a while so I thought I'd give it a go?

TW: Depression, self harm and suicidal thoughts.
       
The sparkle in his eyes
It faded like day fading to night
But it didn't come back with the sun
No, it was gone for good

Yet no one thought twice
Even as the marks on his arms moved to his thighs
His smile became a memory
Something that only appeared as a ghost

He isolated himself whilst wishing
Someone would ask to spend time with him
No one asked of course
Because he never said a word

In class he'd be the one to stare
Into space, his mind barely there
He tapped on the tables
Unable to concentrate

The bags under his eyes got darker
As the hope in his heart got sparser
He was screaming for help
But no one could hear

That one person who stayed
Phil was his name
He was so close
Yet so out of reach

Each night he'd cry
Why did he bother to try?
He didn't know
But Phil built up that hope

As stress made him pull out his hair
The anxiety making him feel no one cared
He'd always lock himself in his room
Just listening to music and watching YouTube

What he used to love: books, TV
Became simply part of history
He wasn't himself
But still he didn't ask for help

Then one day
He had a strong desire to fade away
He had failed a test
Someone had called him a loner
He felt like a disappointment
He couldn't try anymore

He was going to give up
But despite his bad luck
He decided to reach out
He picked up his phone and finally shout

Help. It was so simple the word
Yet his fear was not being heard
But once it was out it was out
And Dan didn't ever want to take it back

The sun rose into the sky
And the hope eventually came back into his eyes
All because he had told his friend
Imagine what would have happened if he had decided to end it
It would have been a mistake
There wasn't a day
That went by without him telling himself
He shouldn't have felt the need to die to escape

But the world is a tough place
You just need to wait it out and stay
One day I promise you
It will be okay
