Survive
A poem about my life long struggle with suicidal thoughts
Published in

You think I’m weak
because I want to die,
but I know I’m strong
because I survive!
You judge me without even
knowing what I’ve been through,
but I don’t bother
comparing myself to you!
You think I’m beneath you
for contemplating suicide,
but I know I rose above
because I’m still alive!
You don’t get to judge me
for what you think you know,
after all, you only get to see
what I decide to show!
We’re two different people
on two different paths,
no matter how much pain I feel
I still manage to laugh!
And that’s the difference
between you and me,
you’re only privileged
to what I allow you to see!
