11 ,15 & 16

3 numbers

i will remember

those were the ages when i tried to unalive myself

i think about how someone so young

could be so broken and depressed

If my attempts worked

i would have been gone for almost a decade

my mother was the only one who knew at the time

instead of comforting her daughter

she played victim

instead of getting her child help

Its as if she acted like it never happened

i think about 16-year-old me, all the time

she would be surprised to see

i’m still here and breathing

that I made it through the dark days

i am now 20

i guess life gets better

maybe there is a reason why i made it this far

sad poetry
