Re: The poem spot
TW (hospital/police experiences etc)
Bed 8
"A young girl, admitted in
with mental health concerns
Scars on her skin"
The pain inside it burns
"Called the crisis team, the police had came
They found her nearby a park
She tried to leave, we had to detain"
My mind had never been this dark
"Refusing to go back to home
We put her on a 1-2-1
Make sure you don't leave her on her own"
I feel like I'm already gone
"We moved her over to bed 8
She had a breakdown late last night
She has been talking about escape"
I don't want to win this fight
"Social services are looking for a place for her to stay
She keeps telling our staff she wants to run away
Lock the main doors at night so she can't find a way"
I cannot speak, I cannot say
"We took her off the 1-2-1, hopefully she can be discharged
They found her a placement, well that's what they said"
I keep looking for peace within the stars
I want to be dead. I WANT TO BE DEAD
"Bed 8 ran away last night,
Attempted to take her life
We don't think this placement is right"
Half alive, dead inside
"Bed 8 ran away from her 1-2-1 while going for a walk
We dressed her wounds, and our doctors had a talk
We decided to section her, make sure security is always there"
All I wanted was for somebody to care
"Bed 8 can now be discharged, we found her another place
Mental health deemed her fine so they closed the case
Social services are getting ready to pick her up"
I just feel so helpless, a burden, not enough
It's never been so dark inside
May 19th, I should've died
Hospitalized, I became bed 8
Multiple attempts, but still awake
Note: This is kind of my story when I was in hospital for a month a few month ago, I've left parts out because some parts i feel like i cant talk about yet, like police and stuff. I'm okay and safe now, this was a past experience. i wanted to put it into words because ive never been able to explain why i think about that month so much.

Re: The poem spot
What would the last line of my story be?
If I were to write a book,
What would my last line be?
Would it end, how it started?
Or be filled with peace?
Would screams echo from the pages?
Or would laughter exceed?
Would I have made my life worth living,
Or would the shadows swallow me?

I feel so so so upset right now and need a hug
My life feels like a disaster.
I didnt get the gcse grades I wanted. Mostly 4s and 5s, i wanted 6s and 7s those were my predicted grades. I was so excited to do physics last year... But now, i hate everything, I don't find nature as beautiful as I thought it was before my dreams of being a physicist were crushed.
Today is my day off at college im retaking my gcses and i have a mock exam tomorrow. My mum wants to urgently move countries regardless of what I feel, and no one cares about me, Im irrelevant.
During year 10 i had to go to america because my mum wanted to live there with my relatives who lived in america, and we had to basically abandon everything we had in the uk, and that wasn't even my choice and I had no say. I came back to the uk and i had to move schools twice! Once because my mum told my school i was leaving and there were no places left, twice because we were evicted and i had to move to a new city. That didn't help me whatsoever. I had some friends in my old school but i fell out with them and there were alot of mean people there that were mean to be since year 7. Since I moved so often i didnt exactly make any friends so im alone, the only few friends i have now, are people who im friends with since year 6-8 and theyre only two people and theyre all busy with their own lives. I feel so alone. I Can't even trust my parents, im not close with my dad and i just cant trust my mum because she'll tell me to be grateful for my life and how easy i have it be cause i dont have to pay council tax and because she makes food for me and how bad other peoples lives are etc
I was supposed to move countries in March last year and I actually changed my mind and was really excited to go, however later my mum changed her mind and i was upset i didnt go... Im still kinda sad about it even now.

Re: How do you show yourself kindness and self-love?
I don’t because I don’t deserve it. I try to just like not hate myself for not being perfect, but it just gets me into trouble because according to my parents I’m just lazy. No point being kind to myself if it’s just gonna cause more pain
