Black lines running down my arm,
Spelling out one simple word: LOVE.
What does it mean?  And for what cause?
How can any sort of writing make a change?
How can I make anyone see this little word I have written here,
On display for all to see?

There is a cause, a fight that we all must strive to fight,
Yet no one cares to see.
People all just turn their heads,
And try to say it's all okay.
They don't even want to see,
The terrible battles we fight every day.

I don't know if they will ever end,
If there will ever be a way to resolve this pain.
So many people have been affected,
And so many more have not realized it is their time.
I can see everything falling apart around me,
Feeling each person's suffering as sure as if it were inside my own skin.

This fading ink symbolizes all that I take up,
Shows that I believe so firmly in my cause,
I mean to help those that cannot help themselves;
I want to show the world how much we can hurt ourselves if left unchecked.
I stand proud, I stand firm,
I will always show my support:

To Write Love on Her Arms.
Suicide Prevention Week was last week, so I commemorated it by writing love on my arm.

I thought Suicide Prevention week was May 20-26th...?

Oh, well. Can never spread awareness too much! *hugs*
