Poem
Sitting alone with my thoughts and this drink at night So many thoughts but I'm scared to pick up the pen and use this Ink to write So much of my pain is bottled up, I know it's not good to keep it in I've had so much to say but I've been scared of the pen Even without talking about the pandemic the past year for me has been painful They call it the devils juice, but this alcohol has been my angel My Mum got ill and I've been her full time carer since From growing up in foster care, to being here for her just shows my strength But truth be told i've been in a bad place trying to deal with stress Laughing for the benefit of my friends, but secretly trying to heal while depressed So much bottled up inside that I need a clear out So many issues I keep to myself because I know they're things people don't want to hear about lately my mind has been elsewhere Taking care of others but neglecting self care 7 years free from Self-harm, but not caring for myself was as dangerous as when I used to use the blade Maybe I shouldn't be so honest, but I can't put on an act I'm not on a movie stage So many questions I have, but I may never have the answers Last november I got sexually assaulted on a night out, then 2 weeks later I lost a friend to cancer I usually hide behind humour, but there's nothing funny about this Since then, self made hidden armour and a fake smile have been my outfit Most people are trying to make it out of the storm, but I know how to survive in it I hardly ever cry, but maybe it would be healthier if I start crying out more Giving up isn't an option, there isn't a fight I will be lying down for Because if I'm still in the fight against my demons then I might win it I've had so many days of pain and nights of worry But I get back up when they least expect it like I'm Tyson Fury I always find a way to survive so my demons and obstacle should be the ones scared But recently I've been scared of the pen because of everything I've been through in the past year
