My Inner Thoughts
What are anger, anxiety, and depression?
Well here, I’ll tell you.
It’s always people saying, “things get better.”
But do they really?
You wake up, and motivation is one of the hardest things to find.
To eat, to shower, to hang out with your friends.
Especially when they ask if everything's okay and you just smile and nod,
But inside it's killing you.
Or when you’re with them, you’re happy, and then suddenly it just hits you.
Why? You may ask.
It’s because once you have it, or have been diagnosed with it, it never permanently leaves.
Sure, you can be happy.
But, once you get home and you’re by yourself, it hits you the hardest.
And the worst part?
When you’re trying to go to sleep and your mind just won’t stop running.
It’s always overthinking.
Do they like me? Are we okay? What if they’re just pretending to like me?
And the anger part is what is the worst of it I think.
You’re not angry at other people, but more at yourself.
You blame yourself for not being enough, and then you keep everything inside.
You keep everything inside because you don’t want them thinking you’re depressed,
Or you’re always that negative friend.
Or you don’t want to become a burden to them.
So you keep it in, you keep so much in until you explode.
How do you get over this?
You don’t, and if you do then I haven’t found how to.
