*Fine thanks*

How are you?

I'm two kilos lighter because I can't eat
When I am stressed I can't exercise and I skipped
The gym for three weeks
Since I don't have time
To think but work
I'm tired, stayed awake
For four years
Fighting that part of me
Who feels useless
Tried to take control
Of my hand
Which holds a knife
Close to my throat
Wanting to set me free
From this world.

But thanks for asking.

I wrote this poem in memory of a close friend.
Despite how painful it was apparently things always get better.
It's a reflection about death and what it leaves behind.
Please smile today, you may never know who might need it.
