Questions

Ever feel like you are drowning in life? Like you just can't catch a breath or get your footing? The waves keep coming, and your head is going under?

Ever think that you just don't want to do this anymore? Like you are ready to give up on everything? Life doesn't stop, but you are ready to?

Do you look in the mirror and foolishly hope to see a different face than the tear-streaked one staring back? Do you sometimes wonder who that person is? There used to be a smile, but that smile is long gone now?

How many times do you think about death? Do you think about just lying down, closing your eyes, and just letting go? It should be a scary thought, but it somehow brings peace?

Are you afraid to tell anyone how you feel? Like they might think you are crazy or unfit or just whiny? It seems like the whole world professes mental health awareness, but you know they'll just label you and want to medicate the pain away?

Ever self-medicate? Ever think that a little drink or an edible or a pill will make the despair go away? Giggling for a few minutes is better than crying for hours on end, right?

Do you pray? Do you seek some powerful wisdom from above? If you can just quiet your mind and listen really hard, will you get answers to all of these questions?

Ever feel like the questions never stop? Like there aren't really any answers? People throw advice around like a hacky sack, but you still can't seem to make any of it stick?

Can I tell you a secret? Did you know that there are other people who are lost on this journey just like you? I don't know up from down or right from left or in from out anymore, does that make you feel a little better?
