From the edge of denial

From the edge of Denial

It is over

I am not doing fine

I am tired of hiding behind fake smiles

I can’t keep living this way

This is not right, it is not normal,

And most importantly, it is not my fault,

I have wished and I have prayed,

I have cried and I have begged,

But this is not going away

We have to part ways here

I have to find another path

I need to find another world

Where there are people like me

It has to exist somewhere,

This can’t be happening to me alone,

I am not weak,

I am not possessed,

I am not sorry for myself,

This is me

Coming to terms with the hand I have been dealt

 

Your feelings whatever they are matter. Seek help if you think you need it!
