My Life
It’s never been easy,
But the last few years
Have been the worst.
Demons waged a battle
In my head
Screaming, yelling at me
“No one loves you.
Stupid girl, your life is a waste.”
And I began listening,
Believing what they had to say.
Who would miss
A broken girl?
I made bad decisions
Put the future I had worked so hard for
At risk.
Made the mistake of trusting
A devil in disguise of a friend.
“Come stay with me.
You won’t have problems here.”
I trusted her,
Tried to move out.
Several breakdowns later
I was sent
To the psych unit.
There I learned
That my thoughts did not have merit.
My family truly loved me
And would be heartbroken if I had
Given in to those demons.
I eventually came to terms with
My new diagnosis and old demons.
I realized there were other emotions
Besides sadness like
Happiness,
Caring,
Serenity,
And manageable anger.
I am slowly
Fighting my way back
And nothing can stop me.
I won the battle and
I
Am
Healing.
