Confession
Alone I feel every second of every day
There is no real cause to why I feel this way
No person or thing, no action at all
I break down inside because I feel I have no one to call
What happens when you combine anxiety with depression
Let me open up and make a confession
The face you see is a mask of my true self
Underneath and inside my broken mental health
My happy personality is so far from the truth
Of a level of sadness developing since my youth
Daily I am faced with this seemingly unbearable pain
As I think to myself why are these thoughts coming from my own brain

Just your average every day guy who is battling depression, anxiety and life in general. I write to get my negative thoughts out of my head and to be a voice for those who are not yet willing to talk about these diseases.
