It’s funny
When my stomach hurts
Or I’m throwing up
Or I have a headache
I can stay home
Take the day to relax, get better
But when my brain’s suffocating
When I feel like killing myself
When I cry myself to sleep
When I feel numb to any physical feeling
It’s not a valid reason to stay home
People tell me to get over it
What’s the difference?
Being mentally sick is the same thing as being physically sick,
Maybe even worse
But if you can't see the pain
Then it’s not there, right?
