It’s strange: tell someone you’re having a great day they’ll walk away; tell them you’re having the worst day of your life they’ll hang for every word.
If you need emergency assistance in the United States, call Suicide Prevention at (800) 273-8255 or the Veterans Crisis Line at (855) 238-5745. Otherwise call 911 or your local emergency number.

Often I cry when I use my ink pen.
It releases the pain trapped from within.
My tears fall to the page and dilute the ink.
I lose my focus and can barely think.
My breathing gets shallow and heart beats slow.
I wonder if my sanity will be the next thing to go.
There’s too many triggers contained in my mind.
Each day there’s seems to be a new one to find.
I’ve had doctor after doctor, pill after pill,
listened to preachers about God, faith and will.
I’ve been locked up a lot and lost track of the times.
Actually I felt comfortable with similar minds.
The food’s always great and the beds are okay.
They let us all smoke three times a day.
We can watch TV and movies or play a card game.
It’s not a bad place for when I border insane.
Some say I’m a genius and insanity is my curse,
that I ride the edge between better and worse.
I say I’m just me, and what happens will be.
I’m nothing special, there’s millions like me.
