The Lie
When the life gets hard and heavy
is when the dark thought pops in,
"the world would be a better place without you"
I recognize it for the LIE it is
and concentrate on getting through the day
one minute at a time,
thankful that I have friends and loved ones
to help me navigate around this lie
and a therapist to help me move forward
from it but I can now understand how it
happens, and how easy it would be to let
the darkness envelop me and take over
