Sometimes....
Sometimes, I have to tell myself that I'm okay
I have to repeat it
Constantly
Like a mantra
I'm okay
I'm okay
I'm okay
Because...
If I stop....
The voices in my head.....
Will remind me...
They'll remind me of all the reasons I am not
And sometimes
When I do realize...
That I'm not...
It's harder to get out of bed
It's even harder to find the motivation to get ready for the day
I'm okay
Sometimes....
Sometimes, it's a constant battle...
That takes place in your mind
It gets harder
And harder
To fight.....
I'm okay
What your mind always tells you
And sometimes
You want to just go to sleep but you can't
You simply can't
So sometimes....
When you find it hard to get up
When your mind keeps pushing you down
I'm okay
You find yourself just staying there
In the darkness of your own mind
And sometimes...
You just sink
Deeper....
And deeper...
You're so tired
But...
Sometimes....
You have to keep fighting...
I'm okay
But you're scared
Terrified
And you're gasping for air
You feel like screaming
Screaming for help
I'm okay
But it's takes so much effort to just keep your head up
So you can see that last bit of light
And sometimes.....
You let the darkness consume you.....
I'm okay
