Do You Hear Me?(Rebecca Adair) Depression is that what this is? PTSD happened to me!
I woke up feeling tired like most of my days.
Was that my choice or it is what it is?
Yes, I took my medication!
Everyone has the answer try this try that don’t worry it will get better.
You think it is simple as just do it. Ha Ha
You only believe what you see.
Am I nagging if I say I hurt all over but mostly inside?
I used to smile even when all hell is breaking loose but not anymore.
I cry and no one hears me because I can’t explain why.
Quick cover up the tears so no one sees me weak.
I don’t like talking about it! Do You Hear Me?!
Breath in breath out make me remember I must live another day of this fake outside.
Zone in Zone out, I do not choose to do that!
Other people have their problems and I try to listen but what can I say it quietly builds up in me to get out can not take it any longer. Run away!
Hide away don’t want to be bothered today!
I can understand why they want to commit suicide to stop this ache and pain inside and stop all this craziness inside.
I think am strong but become weak quick and I don’t know why.
Everyone has given up on me because I am not the same anymore.
Kicked by the wayside to waste into no more.
Don’t pity me. Just know that this is how it is for me.
I shudder to think about what my life has turned out to be.
Change it you say? Do you have the key to this padded room so I can escape?
