I told her

30 7 1
                                    

I told her.

I did it.

I'm finally free.

But she doesn't know

that you actually are

my girlfriend.

That I am probably cyclothymic.

That I cut,

and was hiding a bleeding wrist at that very moment.

That I actually do think about killing myself

too many times each day.

But I'm proud of what I did tell, 

what I did give up.

She's proud of me,

but I probably should see a therapist,

honey.
