Dear Mum & Dad,
if it makes you happy, then I'm fine.
If it makes you proud, my grades are improving a whole lot.
If it makes you laugh, my bestfriend still looks out for me.
If it can make you smile, they told me I have my mother's eyes.
If it makes you worry less, they say I'm getting better.
If it lets you relax, I love my life.
If it helps you sleep at night, I'm not suicidal.
If it keeps you ignorant, the scars lacing my wrists
are not reminders of self-hatred.
If it keeps you from abandoning me,
I'm not crazy.
Your Daughter.
