Heart To Heart

sickness

I am very sick.

people tell me

to get over it.

people tell me

I'm acting crazy.

people tell me

I need some help.

people tell me

I'm ruining my own life.

they just

can't

see

how hard this really is.

I've tried

so hard

to just

"get over it".

but it isn't

that

simple.

my sickness

is getting in the way

of my social life.

I can no longer

have fun

without something in my mind

telling me

to worry.

people think

that my sickness

will leave.

i really hope

they are right

however

I know

that they're wrong.

what people don't understand

about a mental illness

is that it takes over

a person's life.

every

little

thing

that happens in their daily life

could make them better

worse

or just the same.

my sickness

is driving me

my family

and my friends

insane.

and I

cannot

take it.

I am very

very

sick.

and I need help.
