Kids can't be depressed

the world isn't a fair place, the kids are not safe, and is mental health just some game?

why is it okay for you to waltz into the class announcing your headache and tiredness

but we are told to take a pill and toughen up? What's the point of counseling

when you'll doubt everything that leaves our mouth? you take our words for a clown show

"I'm depressed" you'll laugh and make it about you, asking what bills we pay and telling us we don't have jack to worry about

...that it is all for clout 

"An adult can be depressed, they pay bills and work hours to put food on the table" You'll all try to justify

we study for hours, do chores, some part-time job,  just for you to take it in the name of paying you back for practically raising us

have you ever noticed the lines on your child's wrist? the obvious signs of some mental health issue they're trying to show you?

Of course not, we're just a joke to you, kids can't feel stressed anyway right?...
