DEPRESSION You Wanna ANXIETY but What if You Do ME but I'm Not Gonna Let You Make Me Kill Myself

Screaming Inside

I wanna die

DEPRESSION you wanna ANXIETY but what if you do ME but I'm not gonna let you make me kill myself

I say this to myself every day living with mental illnesses is not easy and it's not a joke.

I hate when people say just think Positive you think I don't try to I try everyday I try to see the glass half full

but I see half empty every time and yes I hold it and it gets so heavy to the point that I can't bear it anymore.

but I pick myself try try again everyday is a battle I'm smiling but I'm screaming inside my head,I'm laughing, but I'm crying inside.

They Are My Life

So I dry my tears and I remind myself to look at my children to keep myself going

I can't but how beautiful

The invitation was to let it end

With one swipe

Yes there would be pain but

That's that

But I couldn't bring myself to do it

When I saw their faces

But what about them

I can't leave them behind

They are so sweet so Precious

They did not ask for this

At all

For them

I will thrive

For them

I will prevail

For them

I will fight

For there is nothing I won't do for them

They are my everything

They are my life.
