I don’t know what
To do when my
Mind races and
My heart pounds.

When voices become
Entangled in my head
And control my thoughts
And my emotions.

I begin to feel
Overwhelmed,
I feel worthless,
Helpless and hopeless.

I begin to feel
Depressed.
I hate everything
And everyone.

I want to...
I want to sleep.
Sleep until my mind
Becomes clearer.

Sleep until I can
Think straight again,
Until I feel...
Normal.

I wish I can say
Good night
To my friends and
My family.

I wish I can look
In the mirror and
Say good night
To myself.

I lay in bed and
Close my eyes
But I just can’t
Sleep.

I don’t wanna say
Good night.
I don’t wanna
Sleep.

I wanna stay
Awake
And fight my
Battles.

I wanna stay here
And continue my
Journey
To where I wanna be.

I wanna stay
Fighting
For what I
Believe in.

I wanna stay and
Finish
What I started
Before all this happened.

Staying is all
I have left
Because giving up
Is never an option.

Staying and fighting
Is better than
Giving up and
Not fighting at all.

Never give up,
Never give in.
Lift yourself up
And continue fighting.

Tell yourself to
Stay
And fight on.
I choose to stay.
