Broken

Broken

A Poem by Ryan Reed

I don't want people
To truly know
How depressed
And broken
I really am

That most nights
I go to sleep
Hoping I don't wake up

That most days
I walk around
Wishing I was dead

So I guess this
Is my way
Of saying
I'm not okay
Of saying
I need help

Because in between
Those days and nights
Where I don't want to exist
There is this part of me
Crying out for help
That wants to live

That wants to live

This is my favorite part, i know this feeling
