“Writing is a healthy coping mechanism compared to the other unhealthy ones I express in my writing.” –Morgan
by Morgan Altic
There was a girl
With her chin held up high
Covering up her pain
None of her friends knew she wanted to die
She walked through the halls
Holding secrets that were hard to bear
If only someone knew what was going on within her
Yet nobody seemed to care
There’s only one release
For the pain that still remains
The blade that’s embedded in her wrist
And a shirt that’s covered in blood stains
She has good days and bad
But it never fully fades away
She wants to reach out for help
But her depression is saying I’m here to stay
Beautiful and hard words, Morgan. Those who struggle with depression and cut are not alone but it surely feels that way, I know. Thank you for sharing your poetry with us…
