What am I sorry for? Not being enough for anything or anyone. Not knowing all the answers not one Not knowing if I believe in God as three not one. I really want you to be happy But how can I when I'm falling apart from the inside out. I'm sorry I can't keep up with you Your learning pace at a walk and mine a snail trail of a sad blue. I try so hard but I will never be like you - smart, capable, intelligent and athletic with that hot *** in shorts of blue. Comparison is a toxic relationship I'm trapped in an endless cycle of contrasting those who are better than me at academics, athletics or even that 2 year cute couple relationship. I feel like I'm a mess I can't work it out when all their success blinds my light to see straight much less.

I'm Sorry
The voices, they tell me I'm not enough Not pretty enough Skinny enough Smart enough I'm weak I'm worthless You get the picture Never-ending thoughts Getting louder and LOUDER As long as you believe it. They party so hard your head hurts. Your tears are never-ending, red eyes, rosy cheeks. You can't hide it now. This is what anxiety does to me. I'm not another stressed out teenager, I struggle with this all the time. It makes you feel so alone, even though you're surrounded by loved ones. It highlights your imperfections and all you envy or are jealous of. These demons won't go away, but with support from people who know understand and care, make people like me feel valued and that life is worth it despite our struggles.

Anxiety
I try to hide it Mask it Fake it Suppress it If I cry I'm weak right? No one can see me cry I hide my face in my arms Head down My eyes have blown my cover My heart getting quicker My thoughts getting bitter I must look up for a while Smile Pretend That everything is okay in the end But it's not... not now I wish I could hide But I have no where to abide So I stay low And not let people know I'm about to break The suppression of what they call a freak I runaway From everyone who comes my way There's no escape for me I have to face reality I need help Voices strangle those thoughts of "it's okay to get help" I wish it were easy Life is not breezy It hurts It will hit hard where it hurts But keep trying Never give up or stop trying You are needed You are worth while You are special You are loved You are strong You are capable You are beautiful.

I can't hide
My breath getting quicker Blood pulsing through my head My thoughts are one too many The noise around me is muffled The symbol of sadness in my eyes Gathering to run down my face Quicker breathing Faster thinking Summoning my demons to control my mind They say I'm not good enough But I know I am good enough They tell me I'm not How can they prove it? A constant war inside my head To prove my worth that never existed to begin with I must hide, people think I'm weak I know that's not true, but how will I know? Now...I have those feelings But they are more controlled With therapy With drugs To suppress my extremes This mental illness doesn't mean I'm weak, It means i conquer more challenges than the average person. Happy pills calm my anxious heart and my stubborn mind To suppress the sick feeling of failure To suppress the endless worry of my future Medication. It doesn't cure you, it relieves the illness I have a mental illness

Medication
Parents love you They do what they can to help you They mean well, but they don't know The way I think or react Thinking why and how, that's a fact I'm always over... over the top over-thinking over-analyzing anything to say I think too much I feel too much I see too much I do too much Since when was that a problem? Because you think I am a problem Parents love you But they don't understand you You try to fix me feeling but you do more harm than healing They don't see what you see They see their kid overthinking But they think of possibilities along with other probabilities I'm not a person anymore, I'm a problem Your thinking is my problem I'll never be enough for you I'll never have enough to impress you

My Problem
I cry myself to sleep at night To be rid of my own fright You had to take a bite Of my free flying kite Because of you I was never blue Being with you It was a dream come true You didn't go down without a ****** fight To see who was wrong or right You made me feel bright Now I must take flight You made me feel like a princess You told me I was priceless To never think less What we had was meaningless Now I must go And leave the dark shadow To go and grow At an all time low You were never there for me When you were right in front of me I cry and plea But all I can do is flee Because of you I can never be true I can never see you How can I believe you? In the face of my depravity For God so loved the world he died for me You truly make me happy Like that adorable puppy You only played me You never thought I was happy I am a flea You are about to step on me What is death like It's not riding a bike Don't get a psych It's never worth a like Darkness is what consumes you Because you always feel blue And you can never be true We are through me and you

Because of you
Love, what is it but a world of confusion a message through a mask created by a fake fusion It's all they want to ask The most powerful magic of all we can never live without when you're always there to break my fall I never really had a doubt opposites attract that's what they portray That's what they call abstract get ready for my card I'm about to play Life's a game Is there a prize in life you may say? and I can tell you now it's not fame Love, that's the card I play to you today

What's Love?
Words paint pictures But words will never describe the finest detail of an artwork Words can't let you see the beautiful characters of this unique person Words tell stories and those stories are people's lives Words tell us everything But with drawing The sky's the limit

Words and Pictures
What am I thinking? Stuck, stumped, blank memory What's an idea? Or just as much as I can't say What do I do? What's happening? What can I do? What can I add to my story? I'm staring at my screen, my mind losing memory What else can I do but wait. When is it due? I don't know What can I do? When will that thought come to me like a flash of brilliance Just appearing out of nowhere Sigh C'mon give me a chance When will it come? I don't know What can I write? What will happen in my story? Well let's see

Empty Mind
When I finally realise who they really are They're a trouble maker A liar, a thief, a devil, a bully I couldn't believe that was my friend The one I trusted The one I loved The one I counted on The one who I thought helped me But only made matters worse No one stood up for me anymore My only other friend just stood and watched As I suffered the loss of someone who I called my friend I was afraid to stand up to her For I knew she was a devil And I knew what she would do If I ever tried to tell her off How could I ever trust someone like that again? My life is no longer safe I feel so stupid Why did I fall for her evil schemes Getting me into more trouble And herself proving that she's innocent
