effects of mental disorders

facing disorders at an early age is "your" fault
this isn't what i learned, what i was taught
thinking of the memories my disorder has brought
"this is normal", that's what we thought
i talk to someone, they label me as crazy
i'm just begging for someone to save me
now they only see what i want them to see
the color red stains my favorite tee
i try and try, but get nothing in return
how will they feel when tables have turned
i think of the acts of people i've learned 
they fake and pretend to be concerned
depression? anxiety? bipolar? here's some medications
they won't heal my thoughts of temptations
no one understands, no one's in relations
being numb is the new sensation
putting the blame on people for how they are
it's only going to push them so far
thoughts are hanging as high as the stars
do you know how you're making them feel?
the emotions they had, their disorder will steal
no one can save us, nothing left to heal
now nothing seems real
