Coral

Coral, I want to tell you that it gets better,

But sometimes it doesn't

That depression hits harder than those cursed angels fell to Earth

But we are the strong ones

And we will put up a fight

Coral, I want to tell you not to give up yet

Because we are all sad and dying

And we are just the ones who hurt the most

You are doing your best and that's what matters

Don't listen to the villain in your head who tells you otherwise

The devil plays his best tricks on the strong to make them feel weak

Coral, you can be whomever you want to be

The scars on your arms cannot hold you back from your dreams

Your nightmares are there to put on display your deepest insecurities,

But don't take them to heart

Coral, we all go through this

Rain will fall

And sun will shine

Lightning will strike

And thunder will crack

The fire in your eyes will burn

And the sympathetic smiles given to us in pity will be ignored

You aren't the joke that the voices make you out to be

You are the sun

And sometimes we are all hidden behind clouds

I know your depression isn't for attention

But this is

So listen to us

Because we are the ones who are never heard

We will no longer take your oppressive treatment

Because we are living kids who need more consistency than a new cut on the wrist every night

Don't waste my time telling me that I don't exist

Because I do and I have an army behind me to prove it

Coral, how they've hurt you is not your fault

And you will get hurt

But I will always help you back up to your feet

And if they won't help us

We will help ourselves

Because every sick kid needs treatment

Coral, you aren't alone

And in the end, we will raise our fists

Because we are the ones who survived.
