She tried.

My (ex?) girlfriends attempted suicide.

She used to say
She'd not commit
And the only one stopping her is me.
But then
Last year
She tried.
She got tired
Of the rumours
Of the assault.
From not only y'all
But her family.
She got tired of life
So she tried
She told me she was sorry
Through a text
But she was tired
She tried to live
She also tried to be
Good enough
But she was done
So she tried
To take her life
Thanks to her sister
Who found her
Before it was to late
But still
She tried.

I can´t really understand why do we keep mistreating those different from us. I´ve always been taught that different is good. Not bad! I wish we could all live in the world John Lennon sang about in Imagine.

Yeah, exactly.

It's so hard to read this because I've suffered from depression for as long as I remember. It's my life work to help myself and others through it now but that core possibility never fades. One incident can take you to those thoughts. You penned this well.. thank you for sharing..
