The Blood On My Hands
She said she was fine
She told me so
She told me not to worry
So I didn’t.
She was ok
She never cried
She never lied
Well, she did but I hugged her and moved on.
She was smart
She was pretty
She was kind
There was nothing bad about her.
She was a fighter
She was a hero
She was my friend
But I saw that darkness and did nothing.
She was scared
She was hurt
She didn’t know how to fix it
But she didn’t want to bother anyone.
She hid it
She pretended
She tried to move on
But some scars are made too deep.
She leashed it
She thrashed it
She threw it into her pit
It was still too strong for one fighter.
But she said she was ok
She said she was fine
She told me not to worry
But maybe I should have.

Please don't turn away from people because you think you can't help them, or because you think someone else will help them. More importantly, don't turn away from someone because they tell you to, because they say they're ok. No matter who you are, no matter how much help you think you can or can't give, never turn away. Never think nothing's wrong, because that's the thing that makes everything wrong.
