This was a poem I wrote when I was young, probably about 16 if I remember correctly. It is all my feeling and summarizes my struggles with mental illness that I've been dealing with my entire life.
I know this isn't the story that I promised years ago. but life has gotten in the way and I'm finding that I'm just now having time to write again. I apologize to all my followers.

Things I Wasn't Supposed to Say: A Journal of Silent Battles and Unspoken Truths
They told me to stay quiet. To smile, to endure, to bury the words that burned inside me. But silence is heavy. And sometimes the only way to survive is to write the things no one wants to hear. This book is a collection of truths-raw, tender, and unapologetically human. It speaks of invisible wounds, love that aches, hope that refuses to die, and the quiet rebellion of being yourself in a world that demands masks. If you've ever felt too much, stayed unheard, or carried a storm inside- these words are for you.Complete
