Mental illnesses are a shame.

Fears are a shame.

Be embarrassed,
Blame yourself,
Your fears are irrelevant,
Your illnesses are a lie.

All made up for you to feel special, different
And maybe even a method to earn pity and attention.

That's all that you are-
An attention-seeker.

Family makes me feel this way,
Then how can I not be afraid of how the world might treat me?
