   It's rather conflicting when you finally become religious, and then the worst parts of your life happen.

  What I want to do is get so high I forget what day it is.

  What I want to do is drink the pain away.

   I want to destroy every single thing I've worked so hard to build up in the past 6 months.

  I want to not feel like everything is falling apart.

Everything in my life is being torn apart.

Finally, I thought I had beat the worst of my demons.

I learned how to control my thoughts.

I learned how to combat the waves of depression and paralyzing anxiety attacks.

But now, it's almost as if those things just took a human form, something stronger.

It's in the form of my mother telling me about divorce attorneys and joint custody, moving houses and a different life.

It's in the form of making jokes about my family issues, in order to hide the heartbreak inside.

I feel so alone.
