I will not critique, you,
When you seem weak, sorry
there I go, oh I do not know,
I thought that you were stronger,
than this dark cloud that, I
see hanging over your head.
Sometimes, I am what is wrong,
with your mental health, I do not
want to bankrupt the currency, your
wealth, for you may be in the black,
sigh... instead of what I see or feel, the red.
This is so **** hard, I love you, I support
you, and I know it is not fair, what you go
through, whether or not I am there.
Be assured of this we made a vow, THAT,
is where we are now and will always be,
for eternity.
You have more creativity, beauty and
a softness about you and all I can do
is to rail against the harsh reality that
you dove into a pool where I cannot wade,
not that I may drown, but I will try to swim
with a shovel or a *****.
Paddling my empty boat with holes,
or pushing in shallow water with barbed poles,
instead you need me to sit or write or occupy my
self, instead I call you fragile and place you on
a shelf. Alone.
So, I am sitting, I am listening, waiting.
If you know and love some one who has a mental illness, do not give up
do not give in because sometimes you are all that they have to hang onto.
It is *right* so to do.
