I set fire to my body
People walk past
As if they don't see the flames roaring on my skin
I stand on the ledge of a building
People walk past
As if they don't hear my desperate cries for help
I curl my hands to my face and bawl
People walk past
As if they don't feel the tears hit their arm
I make one mistake
People walk past
As if I just ate their young

i understand entirely. And i understand that what you write is you begging for another chacne, begging for help. I do the same. I love this poem.

Thanks! It's a feeling I experience too much too and it's very wrong... I felt this was an easy way of sharing those emotions of invisible...
