Another Day Poem by Amanda Mendez

Another day, hooray
Don't look at me that way
My life is mine to take away
My say to be saved

And when I hurt myself
That was my cry for help
But no one heard, no one came
And when I hurt myself
That was my cry for help
But no one came to stop the pain

Now I dream
I see
Myself not waking up at all
I bleed
I see
Myself as I start to fall
Today's just another day

Happiness
You left me here all alone
Ignorance
I miss
What little I use to know
Today's just another day

And when I kill myself
It's not a cry for help
It's all I have left to escape
And when I kill myself
It's not a cry for help
It's just ‘cause I can't awake
To another day
