In shadows deep, a mind’s silent cry,

Diagnosed, a label cold and stark,

Shallow minds pass judgment by,

Stigma leaves a lasting mark.

Diagnosed, a label cold and stark,

Whispers echo in the night,

Stigma leaves a lasting mark,

In the darkness, seeking light.

Whispers echo in the night,

Understanding seems so far,

In the darkness, seeking light,

Hearts and minds bear the scar.

Understanding seems so far,

Shallow minds pass judgment by,

Hearts and minds bear the scar,

In shadows deep, a mind’s silent cry.

Thank you for reading, liking, and commenting to my posts.  It is very appreciated.

I am currently raising money to pay for ongoing psychotherapy. I am a survivor of complex trauma, I have dissociative identity disorder, and complex PTSD.  Therapy can be very expensive.

If you feel like donating to my fund you can donate using pay pal. My pay pal email for donating is:

Don’t feel you have to, there is no pressure, but I’m grateful for any donations that are received.

Again thanks for visiting!
