Oh just grow up
Oh just grow up.
You can say it so easily without knowing of the pain that passes by each day.
Depression is so bad it physically aches to crawl out of bed.
Losing yourself at just one glance into the mirror. Not just because of the pain, But because it is a constant reminder of the Tears, the Tiredness. The redness in your eyes, the puffiness around your eyes.
Oh just grow up.
But anxiety is so bad it physically aches you to stay in bed Because you know everyone will forget and just move on and you'll just be left to ache all alone again.
Oh just grow up!
Is what they tell me. Growing up is not so easy. Growing up is not a simple command made to obey.
Oh just grow up!
My mind is torture. And you have no clue What these thoughts do to me. The thoughts lurking inside my head Far enough to see but never close enough to touch.
Oh just grow up!
But my mind is a battlefield! And I promise this exists I know you don't believe me, You though I was your perfect little girl.
But I am far from that Perfect. Little. Girl.
I'm sorry I'm not your perfect, little, girl.
the repetition has a really nice effect!
I relate a lot to what you just described! I once had someone why I saw a therapist or people thinking that me saying that I was depressed was a joke. A celebrity that I like, who has depression, once got told to "man up", which I thought was upsetting. Thank you for portraying the world doesn't understand depression
Thank you for writing something so human and relatable. This has validated my thoughts and feelings and from the comments you are a writer/vigilante for mental health. You are wonderful - never stop writing.
