I wrote this piece because it shows my view of the world. It shows the struggles that adults but mainly teenagers deal with like sexual assault, depression, and suicide. I myself have dealt with depression and even the thought of suicide and the poem shows that in this society no one really cares or seems to notice when something is wrong with someone. No one bothers to ask what is wrong or willing to genuinely listen. So I wrote this poem to show that if you have experienced any of these things, you are not alone and several other people have gone through it too.
