Grey Lines Borderline

Between happiness and depression
My age and it's regression,
The signs of borderline
The grey lines between emotions
Inaudible anger, hidden sadness, with a hint of secret regression, 
Filled with shame that has me stressing,
Who am I and what is my name,
What if everything bad I was to blame,
The faceless, and nameless things to be said,
Grey Lines between the living and the dead,
Feeling all emotions or nothing instead,
Just wishing this pain will vanish, and be put to bed,
Grey lines, like clouds on the skyline
Where does one begin, and the other ends,
What's the point, 'everything' says a voice, 
"nothing" says another,
like a angel and devil on my shoulder,
All or nothing.

Sometimes you've just got to take the plunge and dive back into the ocean again. To do that you have to leave your bed, walk outside and feel the sunshine on your face, or the rain kiss your cheeks. This too shall pass, if you want it to. This is what I take away from your deep thoughts here.

I suffer from Borderline personality disorder, lows feel like the world is ending, highs feel like nothing can touch you, the thought of abandonment is full of paranoia and anger for no reason to hurt someone to love them to feeling absolutely nothing. Feeling like everything and everyone is personally attacking you when really they aren't doing a thing. ??
