Mental health is a minefield

quirky and adorable

annoying and weird

you're oh so relateable

it isn't what you've feared

but there will be no help for you

until the bleeding starts

it isn't a disorder

til it tears your life apart

missed appointments

broken friends

these are not enough

tears and clawed frustrations

are just something "pretty tough"

if you can still hold down a job

or hold up a grade

you're fine you're fine

your life is great

or that's what they've explained

projects left unfinished

life left all unplanned

mad and lost and terrified

your grip has turned to sand

they could have pulled you from the edge

but they said you weren't there

no one believes you're going to jump

til you are in the air
