My mental health sky rockets and then falls
One minute it's good
The next I question if it was even good at all
It accelerates and decelerates at a rate I cannot seem to control
It goes up and down like a Merry-go-round
Do I break now
Or, do I fight and stand tall?
While I still can stand
While I still can fight
While I still can laugh
While I still can smile
While I still can
My mental health has a mind of its own
A mind I cannot seem to control
A mind I cannot seem to stop
Ironic really, seeing as it is my mind after all
Will I keep swimming
Will I start drowning
Will I give up my fight
Was I even fighting at all?
My mental health thrives on seeing me down
Gasping for breath whilst not on the ground
Asking for help whilst no one's around
My mental health is winning and destroying me within
Is this where it gets me?
Asking for love and help whilst my mind is destroying me?
Can anyone save me now or am I forever destined to drown?
I'm trying to fight
Trying to survive
But it's getting difficult to keep trying
To keep fighting
It gets slightly better as time goes on
Or am I just getting numb to the pain?
Is there a light at the end of the tunnel
Is there a sun after the storm?
The pain diminishes and fades
I can get a smile on my face
A smile without the usual pain
A smile that shines a bit of light
A smile that makes the world more bright
A smile that outshines the pain
A smile that can make my day
The smile is you my friend
The smile that ends the pain
The smile that brightens my entire day
The smile that makes me want to fight and scream "I'm alright"
