Poetry depicting what it's like to live with mental health conditions.
What am I good for? They call them petty skills,
In cooking and cleaning, it’s just petty skills.
I strive to be more, beyond a barely pretty face,
But all they see in me are petty skills.
I love so deeply, my heart aches with care,
Yet all they value are these petty skills.
Useless, they say, in a world moving fast,
Ashamed and berated for my petty skills.

caldwtd: A bit of sweet in a world of violence. I enjoyed this story, and angst of each character believing they should not have these feelings towards each other. I did struggle with her seeming to be a bad ass, but yet was always so negative about herself, her negativity was a bit too much for my liking, I...
