It's A Funny Story Actually
Ignorance is a choice:
 You can't choose to be simple-minded,
 But you can choose whether or not
 You educate yourself.
  
 If words scare you,
 If you feel threatened by the existence of a mere sentence;
 If the stringing together of letters, makes you cower in the corner?
  
 I can't help you.
 You have to learn how to help yourself.
  
 And you can blame me all you want,
 Say, "There is no I in team",
 Just like the word 'traitor' isn't hidden 
 In the sentence 'She's my best friend.'
  
 But I probably won't hear you
  
 Because you closed that door
 When you decided 
 That it would be funny 
 To cry wolf;
 To shout suicide, depression, anxiety:
 To blatantly act like
 You knew what you were talking about
  
 And I'm tired of putting up with you:
  
 So don't you dare
 Come crawling back to me 
 With your self-induced ignorance
 And your malicious, bone-crushing lies
 When you're the one
 Who threw herself into the abyss.
  
 And laughed all the millions of miles down.
 Because you thought,
 That maybe I would still try to catch you.
