Anywhere Else

PSA: (Please Read!!!) The poem below makes it seem like I'm not okay. I assure you that I am and it was just a very very rough morning. HOWEVER, that doesn't mean everyone else is okay. Literally, it takes like five seconds to text someone and ask them how they are. It still means the world. Especially in a time of quarantine, we need to be there for each other. Mental health requires proper socialization. Remember that time someone took the time to reach out to you? Maybe it's time you do the same. I don't care if you haven't spoken in years... they won't care either. The chances you take could save someone's life. Also, 1-800-273-8255, this is the suicide prevention line. If anyone even thinks about harming themselves or others please call it. I know that there is going to be at least one person that would miss each of you. So, please think of them too.

The tear stained pillow tells no lie
But I do, when I say that I’m fine.

What I wouldn’t do to be anywhere but here.

The class that causes all of my fear.
When the professor doesn’t listen. Doesn’t hear.
Does my mental health matter more than a crappy test?
When you ask yourself am I next?
When there’s no one to go to cause everything is closed.
And nobody would even know any different.

What I wouldn’t do to be anywhere but here.

When all the people you have are your mom and your dad.
And you can’t just text friends and say your sad.
And the last made plan was weeks ago.

What I wouldn’t do to be anywhere but here.

The only friends you have are the ones you text first.
The ones who say they’d be there left you feeling the worst.
And all you wanna do is just give up on it all.
Does it really matter if another one falls?

What I wouldn’t do to be anywhere but here.

Your only friend is the guy in your life.
And even then you can’t put down the knife.
Your darkest secrets coming through.
And all that you can do. Is wish you were somebody new.

What I wouldn’t do to be anywhere but here.
