Two people trapped in one body.
One who is happy and laughs,
Who enjoys doing their hobbies and what they love to do,
Who can concentrate and get things done on time,
Who likes to go out and socialize.
While the other person is sad and cries,
Thoughts of worthlessness, guilt an anything negative go round in their head
Because the brain seems to hang on to any bit of criticism and negative things people say.
You feel like telling your brain to shut up.
You believe what everyone says about you.
Even the simplest of things make you cry.
You're like a hermit crab that isolates themselves.
Sleep seems like the only way to escape it,
But you sleep odd hours.
The food you eat has no taste,
It's an effort to eat it.
Doing simple tasks, school work or things you love to do, are hard to do.
You think no one cares or loves you.
Even though you know they are there for you.
You know you have support from family and friends,
But yet you still feel all alone.
Words of encouragement go in one ear and out the other
Because to you they don't make a difference.
It's like you've become immune to being happy
And all you feel is this incredible urge to cry.
You hate having it,
You can't control it,
You feel numb all over.
Some people think you can just snap out of it
If only it was that easy.
