Open your eyes and see

 Walking down this road I’m on my own

How can you make me feel so alone

Why cant you just be proud of me

I know I’m not all I could be

But I am ill just open your eyes

Take a look and start to realise

I cant go on living a lie

I am depressed and yes I cry

Why do you keep that locked away

Why are you scared of what people will say

What kind of people would they be

If they couldn’t love me for being me.

You didn’t seem to notice (Condensed)

 You didn't seem to notice, when I dyed my hair, got new clothes to wear, the effort that I made, my spirit starts to fade.  You didn't seem to notice, the words that went unsaid, books I bought, but never read; I was falling apart, I had a broken heart.  You didn't seem to notice, when I stopped going out, whispered words turned to a shout, 2am tears, my life again plagued with fears.  You didn't seem to notice, the photographs I took, the sadness in my look, the beauty in my art, when I fell apart.  You didn't seem to notice, the unravelling of the thread, demons in my head, when I got really ill, I took another pill.  You didn't seem to notice, the calls I never made, words that I said, I tried and tried again, my hurt and pain.  You didn't seem to notice, when I turned the other cheek, when I didn't speak, as I lay in my bed, I wanted to be dead.  You didn't seem to notice, me rejecting the call, rising above it all, that I'd never walk away,...

Burden

 I’m hurting. I’m just a burden— useful for nothing. Everyone can see it. Placated, elated— but I can never be free. It’s frustrating, the words that never come. It’s heart-breaking. I’m a rubbish mum. But I love those girls with all of me— even with my failures. Surely the world can see that they... are my driving force. But hey— I still fail, of course.

Wherever, Whatever, However

Wherever you go in life, I’ll be your shadow on a gloomy day. Telescopic lens, we’ll photograph the moon, Hoping crashing meteors fall our way. When your schizoaffective brain tricks you, Borrow my eyes, ears, and nose. Let insanity consume us together - I Promise, I won’t make you sniff my toes. Feeling anything but perfect? With me you can shed tears. We’ll be dafties together, Shattering any fears. And I love you, With every particle I am. Want you and need you -  That’s the master plan. Whatever you happen to do, I’m always by your side. Stuck to you like gorilla glue, I’ll find you when you hide. And I’m not going anywhere -  No getting rid of me. We promised forever and always, Even if you beg, scream, or plea. Our battle scars show us: We can make it through this life. No matter what’s thrown at us -  As Husband and Wife. I’ll be your cheerleader, Badly sing your favourite song. As long as we’re together, We can survive what goes wrong. Because I love you -  M...
