When life is tough
And love is down
And all I have
Is a tearful frown.
Keep on my mask
Don't let them see
All the pain I feel
That just won't flee.
Throw down the blade
Clean up the blood
Wipe up the tears
And stop the flood.
Don't be selfish
Don't " oh woe is me "
No one cares
So don't let them see.
Who am I kidding?
What keeps me here?
When I'm ball and chained
By depression and fear.
It runs my life
I'm at the end of my tether
Life's falling apart
And I can't hold it together.
The anger inside me
It boils away
Is my sadness and fear
Here to stay?
Let me go in peace
Let the pain wash away
I want to lay my head down
And not see another day.
I want to say goodbye
Be a burden no more
To feel no fear, no pain
To feel no sorrow for sure.

A relatable feeling. I find it comes in waves. I hope you can hold on and know this moment will pass. There will undoubtedly be others. But hopefully if you know they will pass. They will pass 💜
A fine write Suty. It's a hidden illness in some ways, yet none the less real.
