Mental illness can be so complicated
One day I can be fine
The next my world is turned upside down
And inside out
My mood plummets
I go so low
That death seems like a viable option to me
These are the times
When I struggle to cope
When I can feel no hope
When the light goes out of my eyes
And darkness takes hold
Gripping its claws into me
Holding on tightly
It is during these times
That I need all the love
And support and positivity
Of friends, of family
Yes
Mental illness can be so complicated.
