Hidden Strength

I shared my story

I got the pity

I wake in the morning

And I'm treated shitty


I am isolated


I am discriminated

Against.


I am hiding


From their conniving

Words.


I writhe in pain

Throughout the night

Overcome by shame

Too weak to fight

I beat my mind

Hoping in time

It'll disappear

And I'll breathe clear.


I hit I punch I cut I bleed.

This horrid illness suffocating me


I plan I try I stop I see

My actions can affect somebody


But damn I want to die. Damn I want to die.

No. not die.


Cease to exist.


I rather have never lived

Rather have never been

Rather have never did


But here I am struggling

Among thousands of others struggling. in silence.

Behind us

A looming force eating away

At our minds each and every day


You call out for help and nobody hears

You're at the edge, eyes filled with tears

You want to be strong

But can't seem to move along

You should know you're not weak

You should know that you're strong.
