Don't Laugh

Depression isn't a joke about scars lining your arms,

Cause there's nothing less funny than ones self harm.

Anxiety isn't being slightly nervous about something coming up,

It's being told by a voice that you'll never be good enough.

Anorexia isn't just trying to lose weight,

It's not remembering the last time you ate.

Mental illnesses aren't cool or something to laugh at,

I don't understand how people could forget that.

The pain of others isn't hilarious,

The world is cruel and there's nothing to prepare us.

For there's nothing sadder than a broken mind,

A wonderful book that has lost it's spine.
