I heard someone say something today
Supposed to be a joke but it was pretty messed up
Wasn't directed to me, no
A whole group of people
Hours have passed and I'm still finding myself thinking about it in the back of my mind
It's not funny, it's not okay
That someone could joke about something like that
And that anyone could find it amusing
Some people said it was dark and it was
Still I don't know if it hit anyone else as hard as it hit me
Trying to forget, trying to let it be okay
Breathing, breathing
I just Don't get it
I just Don't know
But that was unexpected enough
It hit me right in a place I couldn't forget about
Mental illness and all things of that sort
Are nothing to joke about
Can't turn back time but I wish Someone had said
Something
Even though I couldn't
Talking to people who might understand
Can't erase what I've felt
What you just called out
But I'll be okay
I'll be alright
Hours ago this happened
And I'll put it at the back of my mind
///////
Just-based on something that happened this morning.
