I know it's not real.

But does it have to be for it to go on?

I just want peace in all my hurts.

It's not too much to ask for. 

When I have to let go, I will.

But until then...


I want to be loved.

Do Africans even care about the state of their mental health? How do I tell others how I feel or about my nightmares without them thinking I'm mentally unstable? Everywhere, "seek help." How exactly? All these questions bother me so much that they give me problems. Even if he agrees that I need help, everyone would see me as a psychiatric patient, as the mentally unstable girl.
