If

If you don't understand mental illness,
good.
Good for you
You shouldn't have to understand

If you don't understand why some people can't get out of bed in the morning,
good.
I hope you jump out of bed every single day;
ready to take the world by storm

If you don't understand how someone could drag a blade
across their skin,
good.
I hope you never that desperate to feel something

If you don't understand what would drive a girl to keep starving herself despite everything she's lost in the process,
good.
I hope you stay heavy for present and real

If you don't understand why he won't just go to church or rehab
Or someone who can help him,
good.
I hope you always have someone to turn

If you don't understand how someone can keep swallowing bottles of pills,
Lying knots in ropes,
Or standing at the steps of bridges,
good.
I hope you never that desperate to relief

If you don't understand,
good.
You're not supposed to

It's all fucking sick
Thanks for the ignorance,
It's healthy
