Help Me

The feeling of judgment
Whether real or perceived 
Cuts like a knife 
Old wounds start to bleed
I don't want your pity 
I just want you to see 
That I'm hurting inside 
And I just want to be free
I need someone to talk to 
Someone I can trust 
Who won't go behind my back 
Will keep it between us
Don't know who I am anymore 
A shell my old self 
It's hard to find your way 
When you're lost inside yourself
Sick of crying to others 
For fear that one day 
They will have enough 
And push me away
I want to get better 
I just don't know how 
Because feelings of happiness 
My brain just won't allow 
People look at mental illness
As a disease that's not real 
But dear God I want to get better Dear God please help me heal.
