Approval Not Needed

Mental health problems should be discussed, not censored.

I am at a loss.

I cannot stop, I cannot cope

I need help -

I am stuck in a wet well

Going down a slippery slope.

No-one's coming...

I am alone,

Among a sea of thousands

Who feel as I do

Crying each day,

Like clockwork.

Ripping my hair to shreds,

Clumps and strands

Between my finger tips

And cracked hands.

Skin around my nails,

They bleed -

Shredded to the bottom layer.

God someone help me

But don't -

No use for prayer,

I'm a burden.

I know, but

My heart didn't expect this -

This world;

Nowhere to go

Nowhere to belong.

Sweet home sweet

Turned sour

I cannot sleep, I cannot eat.

Please help me...

But don't.

Just don't.
