Depressed In Disguise Poem by Scarlet Shay

I think I have a problem
And I wanna get help
But to be honest I am scared
And I don't know what will be next

I talked to a friend
Who told a counselor 
But they said if suicide is involved
My parents would have to know

I will not take that risk
So I'll endure this pain
I've tried and tried 
I even told my mother this keeps goin on
But she doesn't believe me

I'm ready to let it out
And cry in someones arms
Because all my problems
Are going to kill me in the end...

Dear mommy,
I am not lying
I am not making this up
I'm cutting and suicidal
I'm bulimic and anorexic
I'm depressed and ready to die 
Stop and listen.
Your daughter,
Scarlet

I wanna scream all this out
I want someone to feel my pain
I need help!  
Someone talk to me!

I listen and council 
Everyone I can with pain
But I have tried 7 other people
And they said they didn't have time
The ledge is only a step away.
