⚠️Trigger Warning: the following poem contains subject matter pertaining to suicide and death⚠️
~
When a person dies
of a physical illness,
you mourn them.
When a person commits suicide,
you assassinate their character
and call them
selfish
because their death is a result
of a self-inflicted action.
Because they chose to die,
right?
Because they not only chose
to destroy themselves,
but the lives of their family and friends,
right?
But
just as a physical illness
turns the cells against the body,
a mental illness
turns the mind against
itself,
convinces it that
death
is the only option.
What you don't understand
is that the person isn't our
killer--
depression is.
