Have You Ever?
Have you ever walked into school and seen your friend that morning and thought "They look sad. I should talk to them," then gone and asked them what's wrong and they've broken down in your arms?
Have you ever been in the changing rooms after PE and caught a glimpse of a long red line streaking across someone's arm, then noticed there are dozens more up and down their wrists?
Have you ever visited a friends house, and stood patiently waiting outside the door after knocking, listening to your friends parents arguing at the top of their lungs, then see your friends emerge from the door a few minutes later, eyes raw from crying?
Have you ever sat in your room feeling perfectly fine, then the next minute you can't move, you can't breathe, you're shaking and your heart is racing, your palms are sweating and you suddenly realise you're having a panic attack?
Have you ever locked yourself in your bathroom with a knife, to emerge hours later, arms bandaged and scarred, eyes red from crying, but being thankful that you could, for a change, feel something?
Have you ever watched the one you love fall for someone who will hurt them, and scar them, and leave them for no reason other than they got bored of the sex they extorted from your friend?
Have you ever locked eyes with someone across the room and been so sure their eyes were screaming "Help me. I'm lost, I don't know what to do, I need help from someone, and I'm scared,"?
Have you ever been pulled aside by a friend who wanted to talk, only for them to say "I cut," or "I have anger issues," or "I have panic attacks," or "I'm depressed," or "I just need help,"?
Have you ever been so confused as to who you are that you just lay down and thought "All my life I've been who I thought I was. But now I don't know if that is who I am. And I'm scared,"?
Have you ever had any of these things happen to you?
Have you ever been exposed to this world of pain?
Because if you have, I beg of you, do something. I have spent so long believing that none of you, except maybe a few, have seen these terrors of everyday life as they are, and always thought "That will never happen to me,"
But you're wrong.
I never thought I'd be bisexual.
I never thought I'd get bullied.
I never thought I'd resort to hurting myself.
I never thought I'd have panic attacks.
But I am, I have, I did, and I still do.
So open your eyes.
You're not exempt from pain.
You just haven't felt it yet.
Thanks for reading guys, any feedback helps. :)
