Zero F***s

A poem

Deep inside me

Is a voice

in my head and heart,

Do I have a choice?

It cries of sorrow

It begs please stay

It screams in blasphemies

It pleads insane

It laughs hysterically

It sneers "No Way."

It makes fun of me daily

And pulls me down low

The days before

When I felt sane

Feel like forever ago.

Do I have a choice?

I actually do

I can choose not to listen to you.

I can chose to pick myself up

My middle finger too

And say "Give zero fucks!"

Thank you for any support! Remember you're not alone!
