Do You? Poem by Amelie Anonymous

Do you just pretend
When you see I’m not ok
That everything is alright
Because you don’t know what to say

Or do you just not notice
When I am feeling down
And think that I’m just quiet
When you are around

Cos sometimes I feel like you don’t care
About how I really feel
You just want to think that things are fine
And not acknowledge what is real

I just wish you would take notice
And try to help me out
Because I’m just not the type
To jump and scream and shout

Otherwise alone I’ll fall
When no one is around
And then you’ll find me in the bathroom
Lifeless on the ground
