Many wish for money
Others, a cure.
Some plead for rain
-But not for flowers
No. It's to hide her showers and showers of tears of fears
The rain indistinguishable, unnoticeable, disguisable
As they paint her soaked face a pale red
As she wonders why she got out of bed at quarter to 5
As the voices grow heavily unignorable-all of her faults
Of which she's constantly reminded
That she isn't social, bc she doesn't want to burden you with all her drama
That she isn't smart, bc she's blinded by the rain
And the big smile she constantly has to feign
That she can't draw or sing or dance or run or play or do anything- what is she good at, what is she good for?
She's got trouble falling asleep at night, for that requires peace
You've no idea the war she is currently forever fighting. I ask you-please know this:
When you judge, you add to her crying her lack of light in her life
You've no clue she's barely holding on, barely holding on
And she's losing her grip day by day-she has no brawn
No strength no hope for dawn
Instead she lies in the storm
Screaming indefinitely, for what seems like an eternity
Pleading deafeningly, but unnoticeably so.
Everywhere she goes, her hamartias, her deficiencies, and imperfections
Out in the open for all to come and see-So why bother to be mean?
You're all already doing better than me
Academically, with your social standings,
You've won it all
So don't make us bawl in the rain- don't add onto the already ineffably, excruciatingly growing pain
What will you gain from this. From this, what could you gain?
At our age, 10-34, suicide is the second biggest cause of death in the US
The average delay of treatment of mental illness is 11 years
Who will be next? It could be me, or any one of you.
Serious illnesses cause 193.2 BILLION dollars in our economy each year
And by bullying, I fear you all as a society
Are responsible
Maybe you didn't laugh or harass
But what did you do?
Nothing,
Which encourages the masses of bullying to go on
You didn't offer your hand or give empathy a chance
Only showed disinterest and apathy
To yourself do you silently ask why
Why she cries so much, why she can't stop, and why doesn't she just get over it already
I can answer those whys. It's because of you
What you decided to or not to do
If only you knew what are lies, and what is actually true
As to why we feel blue. Cuz you remind us each day The reasons-every single one of you
Bystander or bully. You're all the same, all credited and blamed
I hope you understand fully now not to be mean
After all y'all don't know me
And I don't ask for you all to like me
But that you do not hate me, just cuz some people need the rain
Don't hate us and make each our smiles feigned
For the stars can not shine without the darkness
We need our rain to better appreciate the blazing sun
We yearn for the day, we smile because we've finally won
The day we wish for the next dawn
Help us don't hate us
Don't create a fuss. No Longer must I continue to discuss
The severity of my request:
That you don't hate us
That you help us.
