I feel it
My chest is collapsing
And I can’t breathe
Yes…I pray
I read the Word
But don’t tell me I need to do it more
Cause I swear you don’t know me
And if you do
You understand what I’m going thru
This is me daily
I fight to stay alive
As I’m at war with my own mind
Constantly it hurts
It never stops bleeding
This wound is beyond infected
I need a medic
Someone better get help quick
Cause I’m about to need it
Some say it’s all in my head
Most say nothing
Cause they don’t know
My fear is everyone thinks alike
Nobody really cares
As I fall repeatedly off the cliff
I’m bruised not broken
My heart is shattered
I’m not about to quit tho
I’ll pick up these pieces
Mend myself best I can
I know He’ll have to do the rest
Mental illness doesn’t limit
My ability as a person
I’m stronger than you think
I’ll get there eventually
So don’t be nice to my face
Then curse me out the door
Cause He knows and sees
More than you think He doesn’t,
You’ll get no apology from me
I’ve done nothing wrong
Unless being honest is a sin
In the Bible, please show me
