Chronic chronics

I’ve always suffered from something

Always something twisting and turning

Knocking me down over and over

Blocking me from going forward

Today might be anxiety day

Tomorrow is depression I’d say

Next week is feelings of inadequacy

The week afterwards is people’s opinion of me

This month will be my low self-esteem

Next month will be isolating from my support team

I already know how it’s going to go

The river’s already flowing, no need to row

I don’t understand the point of working on myself anymore

As if there’s an intrinsic deficiency at my very core

I’ve surrendered to the difficulties that I’m facing

As uncomfortable as I always am, always masking and erasing

No needs to know

I don’t even know

I’d love a surprise here and there

But there are certain places where

I don’t ever want to go back

Running around homeless with a sack

Til my mental illness do me apart

Oh do I pray to get back my heart

I generally write about where I went wrong, so others are alright.
