They told me that it's all in my head
And they were right
It is all in my head...
And my heart
And my veins,
It's in my stomach
My arms and my legs
It's immobilizing my muscles
And deteriorating my skin
So yes- they were right
But they left a few things out
Not only is it in my head
It's now completely taken over every single part
That makes me
Me

This is Depression

sometimes self-care looks like
blocking their contact
not because you've moved on
but because you haven't.
Stand up
Stand up
Fight for your rights

Stand up
Stand up
Fight for your rights

Stand up don't back down
Get back up when pushed to the ground
Stand for what you believe in
Even if you must stand alone
Stand up, stand tall, be strong

Stand up
Stand up
Fight for your rights

Stand up
Stand up
Fight for your rights
The abandonment issues and rejection inherited and absorbed
It penetrates my core I push away
Any glimpse of the mimicking
I speak my truth
Put up barriers
I'm not sure what I'm more scared of to be left or to be loved
Live briefly because,

life swings from majestic to macabre quickly
