Everyone seems to think they understand,
what it means to be suicidal.
They've cut themselves once or twice,
barely bled for a while.
Starved themselves, cause someone called them fat.
Cried themselves to sleep once or twice.
Wished they could take it all back.
Only once, did they think of suicide.
But they aren't suicidal.
They don't spend every day wishing it would go away.
I've been thinking about it for a while.
Just haven't found the words to say.
Cause, isn't the proper way to go out,
To write a letter?
Just in case someone finds out,
You're gone forever.
You aren't suicidal,
Until everything's been ripped away from you.
When everything's gone,
And all you have is the truth.
People use suicide as their punch line,
They don't realize how much it actually can hurt you.
To watch the one you love, die,
with their reason written down in front of you.
So don't say you're suicidal,
Till you know for sure.
Cause it doesn't make you look 'in style,'
It's just immature.

I wrote this after thinking about some stuff I see all the time. People joke about suicide and act like it's funny, but look, it's not. I was, and every now and then, am suicidal. It's a horrible feeling and definitely not a joke. I'd suggest you shut your mouth if you think it's funny that someone was driven to wanting to hurt themselves over something you did. I know for a fact you'll stop laughing if you see someone you love die. It's not a fucking joke.
