My Door Is Not Open

My Door is Not Open I sit with my head between my knees Hands on my face rocking My eyes covered by my hands Rocking and rocking trying to pray Unasked questions No answers today I think, I think not sure what to say So low, so low with nowhere to go Shake and let the moths out No room for them in my brain Pulling my hair just to feel pain Fresh unfettered scars today In my bathrobe I lay In my bathrobe I stay Not getting dressed No reason to care There is no one there My door is not open It is not there

My friend, finding a way to live is today's most complicated problem. There are people who care.

Through these poems I am able to confront and share the pain of mental health issues. Thank you for your support ;)
