There are still parts of me that don't

when my demons call my name.
Being ok is just a game.
How far can excuses go
until you pick up the stones you throw
How many lies will roll off your tongue
Before you stop playing with a loaded gun
How many tears until your fine
Darling where are you drawing the line
How many years until you're old
What memories are you making to hold
How many cars do you have to chase
Before you can draw the smile back on your face.
How many lonely nights
until you give up this fight.
How many scars until you realize
your not weak for closing your eyes.
Needing a break, needing help when life gets overwhelming is not weakness. I've been struggling with that. Comment any suggestions for this poem or anything that you are afraid to ask for help for.
