It's too common nowadays.
Why's that?
We pointed it out.
Made it a stereotype.
I remember the first time my mom said depression and bipolar disorder regarding me.
You don't just wake up one day and say, "Wouldn't you look at that, I have depression."
It overcomes you slowly until it hits you harder than you could have imagined.
In sixth or seventh grade, I remember jokingly saying I was going to kill myself.
Over what, you may ask?
Most likely "boy drama."
It wasn't until the nights I stayed up crying
Over the horrors that haunt me that I realized that what my mom was saying was true.
I find it strange how people can't remember dates.
I remember the time of day of which something awful happened.
Horrors of a loved one dying at eleven o'clock ish at night but it wasn't until 1:34 that your mom told you.
Horrors of a guy with no face and no voice forcing you to strip at 5:26 in the morning after you stayed up all night talking to strangers on the Internet.
Horrors of your first real relationship being mentally abusive starting at 3:53 at his house.
Horrors of waking up at night not being able to control your own hands as blood and other fluids drip down your hand at 4:27 a.m.
You look at someone,
You hear the way they talk,
And you put them in a box.
You make them a certain way in your head.
But, hon,
A smile
Can hide
A lot.

A fine write. I thought it was 'Raca' that meant fool, idiot? I've seen 'Baca' in a Psalm (no.84). It means 'weeping, sadness'.
Oh, interesting. I'm really not sure. 'Baca' can also be spelled with a 'k' which I thought in Japanese meant fool/idiot. I will definitely do some more research. 🙂
I checked it on the internet and I think orchidee is right, it should be raca and not baca. So just change the line 'But, hon,' to 'Really, hon' and you are fine.
Great writing, great poem!
