From a friend to me

You haven’t got a clue
What she does endure
Tragic life, not knowing
If they’ll ever find a cure

You sit and stare
And judge her ways
Avoiding her
Assume she’s crazed

But she is just trying
To deal with what she’s dealt
Constant voices haunting her
She’s hiding what she’s felt

They’re telling her she’s useless
In everything she does
You tell her to snap out of it
And not to make a fuss

And this pushes her over the edge
She is close to snapping
You blame her, call her mad
But this sickness is so trapping

And so you fail to see
Her side that loves and cares
You miss out on all that’s good
Given the chance she would be there

Pushing aside her illness
And all the fear she feels
To help you through the tough times
Understanding what is real

You just write her off
Because that’s easier
Your ignorance is bliss
Life’s simpler without her

She isolates herself now
She’s crumbling inside
Teetering upon the edge
With no-one to confide

She honestly believes that
To die would be the best
She forgets the few of us that care
And listens to the rest

You and her voices
That show your prejudice
Break the little strength she has
She believes she won’t be missed

The tablets have stopped working
The mental wards are grim
She gulps the pills, shuts her eyes tight
To escape you and her and him

I am going to miss her
She’s everything to me
I’ll find a little comfort though
She’ll finally be free

Free from all closed-minded
Who judge a book by its cover
No matter
What you think or say
I will always love her
