I am here My hair is washed and combed My job though never done is being worked I am here
I have locked away the feelings Only faded scars show their secrets It's a losing battle
I am so tightly wrapped and the mask is slipping but I am functionable
You sit behind your glass Staring at my scores Of course you're depressed! You wouldn't leave your daughter without a mother
I have always been broken and known it I am just so tired of gluing the pieces back together All that is left is powder I am pulverized
I wanted help I was so cared and You proved why there is no help for me Because I am functionable
Have you wished you were dead or wished you could go to sleep and not wake up? Yes
Have you actually had any thoughts about killing yourself? Yes
Have you done anything, started to do anything, or prepared to do anything to end your life? Yes
At least I am Functionable
I wrote this when I has having difficulty with my suicidal ideation. I felt like I wasn't being heard because I was still working, I was still meeting my goals. It was a very difficult time that needed more understanding and care. I no longer have these feelings but have decided to go ahead and share this.
