Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

In...then out

 

Why do Dr's think that I want to die,

I've told them time and again,

It's because I hurt and because I cry,

It's a way to release all the pain.

 

They don't try to hide that they're fed up,

With the "bad behaviour" they see,

If they'd take the time to see things close up,

Maybe they'd see things in me.

 

They don't see i'm embarrassed every time,

Each time that I've gone too far,

Just leave me alone cause I will be fine,

There's no need to send a police car.

 

They always assume and don't let me tell,

My story of why I am there,

Sometimes I tell them "oh I just fell"

Because I know that they really don't care.

 

I tell them again I don't want to die,

Not content with the answer I give,

"I'M NOT SUICIDAL!!"  I just want to cry,

"I'M DOING THIS SO I CAN LIVE!!"

I like the story in this poem and the way you tell it particularly the last Stanza which brings everything to the readers attention. Nice one
