Understand

Try to understand.

This isn't me.

Wasn't planned.

Didn't want the hurt.

Wasn't in spite of you.

Had nothing to do with you.

Inner demons must be fought.

Couldn't tell you.

How could I?

Would be able to help?

Would you understand?

Would you care?

How do you save someone from themselves?

How do you help when they don't even know what's wrong?

Stop the bleeding.

It's invisible.

Clean the wound.

It's metaphorical.

Stop the tears.

They're a silent river.

Pick me up,

Dust me off.

I'm bruised.

I'm broken.

Try to understand.

It had to be done.

To save me.
