ummbree

sick

I sat down on my roof

staring at the dark blue sky

wondering if the light would ever come back

wondering if it feels hopeless too

I picked up my phone

looking for anyone willing to listen

 

\"do your parents know that you have a plan to kill yourself?\"

\"I don\'t have a plan. I\'m just scared that I will.\"

\"when did you plan on doing it?\"

\"I didn\'t.\"

 

I hung up the phone

 

There were no more tears

I asked the midnight blue 

why it wasn\'t crying either

but it didn\'t answer me

 

She never told me I was going to be okay

Neither did the therapist

or my mom

or my sister

or the doctor

or the psychiatrist

 

How was I supposed to make it through 

if no one told me I would?

 

It was that moment,

when I sat down on my roof,

staring at the dark blue sky

wondering if it feels hopeless too


That I learned

People can\'t train the sad into happy

They can only torment the sad into sick
