you called me at 3am
i'm guessing you just wanted to keep it light because that is who you are
but
we ended up talking about life
primarily my life
how my mind tells me to die
yet my body fights to live
I'm sorry the conversation ended up there
but it always does with me
because that is who I am
I am not defined by my mental illness but it has made me who I am
I hope you can love me for every part of me
because others have tried and left
i don't want you to leave too
