Sometimes it’s hard to convince myself

That I’m alive and alright

Sometimes it’s hard to keep myself

From fading away in the night

The pain can be overwhelming

And the time can go so slowly

The anxiety makes my hands shake

And it only stops when he holds me

It can be hard to believe

That I am really me

That these are my memories

And on the days I hurt the most

The mirror reflects a ghost

Someone who died long ago

And never had the chance to grow

Is it ok to ask for help?

Not sure I can do this on my own

I wish I could take care of myself

I wish I could handle this alone

But whenever I try, I fail miserably

And my mind fills up with evil whispering
