LIKE ALL THE REST

by Samantha - Scorpio

You were never there when I needed you
Never pulling me back when I would run away
Never taking the pills from my hands
Putting the gun down
Instead you watched as I cried
Keeping your distance
Showing you didn’t want the ties
You listened as I shared my problems
That’s a joke, you only read and forgot
When I screamed for someone to listen
When I reached my hand out for someone to hold
When I strayed into that corner
Slitting my wrists
Hiding from fears
Detaching from everything 
And everyone 
And every being
As the monsters grew within my mind
And killed all hope that I’d survive
You were never there to show you care
For you’ve given up on your once love
And proven yourself to be
Just like everyone else
But what I promise
What I cannot deny
Or cannot escape
Is that
I will never be like all the rest
Like you
And I will never give up on you.
