Dear Myself

February 11, 2018

Dear Deja,

Why do you do this to yourself?

And why you never ask no one for help?

Your not alone, just let them know

You can't make it your own

I know you were taught to be strong

But you need help too

Let them in, let them help you

Juggling work and school

There’s a lot on your mind

And a heavy heart too

I promise not everyone is out to hurt you

Had troubles in your past

And you cant let them mold you

I’m always here, I thought I told you

See here you go again

Holding it all in

You should talk to someone

A counselor or your friends

You pose a smile

But not truly happy in while

Can't wait until you accomplish dreams

It’s not bad as it seems

Mental health is important

If your brain were some jeans

I know your breaking the seams

True happiness is key

Sincerely,

Yourself
