A piece of my brain

CreativelyUninspired

Something’s missing

I just don’t know what

A piece of my brain

It just fell out

I’m gifted

Or was

Or was told

Still am occasionally

I’m told I’m normal

I know they’re wrong

I can’t focus

I can’t think

I can’t function

I’m afraid

It’s all in my head

I can focus harder

Count your blessings

Could be worse

Don’t disappoint them

Don’t prove them wrong

Don’t get help

Bottle it

Hide it

Tell no one

Don’t confess

Help isn’t needed

A crutch for a broken leg

Focus harder

Act happy

Be confident

And at night

Alone with my thoughts

Don’t do it.

    You should rest yourself. I find the best times for healing is between 10 pm and 2 am. It's when the lymphatic system goes to purge mode. Try your best to sleep or meditate at that time to maximize your healing. It will help what you are going through go faster.
    It's a long road. Everyone thought you were gifted because you survive this road. Keep going and cry it all out.

    There is way to much pressure placed on individuals. It's healthy to express our feelings as they say "we are only as sick as our secrets."
