see my many sides
acknowledge my dimension
illness is not my only face
depression is not my world
delve into my experiences
ask me how I am doing though the answer will not be..."ok"
I am not negative space
my background matters
even though my tears will not stop falling
hold me as though things can get better
I do not remember the last time I was hugged
Being in this hole does not mean I should be ignored
Hopelessness does not excuse effort
I am here
