TW: depression
Love, hate, sorrow, joy
Everyone feels a mix of these,
No matter who you are,
So why, why do I only feel sorrow and hate?
Mirror mirror, can you hear me?
Am I ugly?
Mirror mirror can you seen me,
If you can, why can't I look at you?
Everyone has someone of value,
Everyone knows their own value,
So why, tell me why,
Why can't I see my value?
Everything has worth,
Everyone has worth,
So why, why am I an exception,
Why do I feel like I have no worth?
The sun rises,
The amber rays shining,
Giving everything life, energy,
So why,
Why can't I find the energy,
To do something as simple getting out of bed?
Food gives nutrition, energy,
Everyone needs food to live,
So why,
Why do I not want to eat?
Hand gliding across the page,
Words appearing, connecting,
Full concentration on something you love,
So why,
Why can't I concentrate?
Why can't I concentrate on anything anymore?
Everyone wants to live,
To see their future, their friends,
So why,
Why do I not want to live?
Winter, autumn, spring, summer,
Just as the seasons go on,
Life does too,
Just as I continue to live,
So should you.
You should live,
If not for yourself, then for the people around you,
That love, care and cherish you,
That want you to continue to live,
There is a light
And you are not alone.
