Mental Health Stuff

Just a collection of mental health stuff. 
The hopeless, random fidgets and calendars. 
And when you live in Michigan?
You feel like running to the upper peninsula sometimes!
Taking all that stuff. 
Or leaving it all as if it’s a pile.
Mental health is one of those…
Dadada, blah things. 
Decrepit and odd. 
Takes you back to childhood or nothinghood. 
Takes you to Indiana in a dissociative episode that no one talks about. 
Takes you back like someone took the wrong luggage. 
I still have a random stress ball over there. 
And when you live in Michigan?
You can’t lose. 
So stress balls sit on my desk.
Like decor but also distressing. 
Just a collection of mental health stuff. 
I could put it in a box. 
But it all got wrecked like a car accident,
Except not exactly. 
I’m just a girl who lives in Michigan. 
For some reason.
