You can't just snap out of it
You can't just think happy thoughts
And you can't just hope it goes away
The truth is
It eats you alive
Makes you feel hopeless, worthless, unwanted, and unneeded
It makes you want to die rather than live with it
And you can't see it
That's why people dismiss it so often
But if we looked like how we feel
We would probably be considered hideous in today's world
What is it you ask?
It's mental illness
And we are NOT faking it
