Dark Thoughts

When I least expect it,
BOOM, a trigger,
and then come the dark thoughts
I try my best to be positive
and focus on the good things in life
but sometimes life gets so hard
I need to reach out for help

I did and I am glad!

But I can see how you could
let the dark thoughts envelop you
until that's all you can see or feel
I am doing my best not to let that happen
and I am getting the help I need
but life is hard for me right now
So, if you know someone struggling
be the hand of kindness and mercy
You really never know what someone
is truly going through by the outside
