"But mommy, she doesn't look sick"
"Well she is mentally sick, look at her eyes,
It shows all the tears and fears
Of everything going on and has happened."

You can't just look at someone and know what's going on inside.

That's not even how it works.

You're not a doctor.

Please try not to label me.

Don't judge a book by its cover.

I can deal with this.

You don't even know what you're talking about.

"Well why would she kill herself? She had no problems."
That's a fucking lie. She had plenty. But she chose not to tell you because she was taught to keep her mouth closed. You wouldn't have cared, anyway. You would brush it away, just like with every other thing.
You understood she had a mental illness. That's a problem enough.
