The offshore strobe light flashes up like a bright star -- in the mists of rain.

The offshore strobe light
I woke up that morning Just another Thursday Got dressed and ready Got to the appointment What would she say that day Then my worst fear came to life I sat in the emergency room Waited to talk to nurses I didn’t see the point in lying I’m then in an ambulance Getting transferred to a facility I was terrified of what would happen I arrived and it was very quiet Was it because my mind was so loud? I expected screaming and yelling, like the television shows It was completely different Friendly people, humble people They showed me what strength is I stayed for five days Those five days were different than anything I’ve experienced It taught me a lot Showed me that it won’t go away That I have to learn to manage it That I have to take accountability My only regret about this whole thing That I wish I would have gone sooner I still struggle but is a little easier Just have to go day by day

Another Thursday
Something is wrong with my brain What are we doing? I think I'm dying I'm dying I'm going to die Am I going to die? What are we doing? I'm scared I don't feel well -Chu

Where is he? He abandoned me here. They take me outside and the leave me in the cold. It's my only pleasure in the day. I need someone with me. Do you have any idea how lonely I feel? Do you even know how alone I am? Where is he?
