The Daily Struggle

High Functioning

When they say you are

'High functioning'

Does it really say how

Stable you are?

It really implies that

You have a good grip

Upon this world and

In life, but is that

So true in any case?

I deal with so much,

Yet I still live my

Life as a person and

Seem ro think that

Is good enough!

'You can survive this?

You're good! You'll live!'

It's like that is

Ringing through my head

All the time when I

Tell people about my

Disorders and mental

Problems because they

Do not really care

About my mentality,

They just don't

'Just go live your

Life, not my problem'

Is the sentiment that

I get from others

I'm high functioning

So why do I still

Not function that well?

Why do others expect

Me to do so?

That is the problem

Even though it says

One thing, it really

Means another thing

And that is how

We live our lives

As those who are

High functioning,

Never being enough

For others, and then

Never being enough

For ourselves, either
