If I just let my mind wander It brings a sense of peace in a time full of chaos It is the end of the semester and big projects are becoming eminent But here I am Have not begun to start on them Need rough drafts due next week but Don’t know where to even start If i ask for help will I be looked down on? Probably not But why is it so hard to ask for help Is it because I’ve always had to be self-reliant? At one point does someone learn to ask for help The problem being I don’t even know what I need help with Thoughts of ending life are at the back of my mind But I have so much I can learn still How do you quiet down the voices in your head Maybe there is a reason that I need to ask for help How did I get here? So far behind in everything feeling inadequate Wondering if there is a place to rebuild myself Would talking to a counselor help? Honestly what can they do besides tell me to stop Stop working so much Focus on school It’s not that easy I need a living to survive I need income to maintain Maintain my bills My accounts are all at zero Zero how I feel about myself
