I know that cringe, I know that fear.
I, too, have enjoyed when no one’s near.
You lose the desire to try when all you feel is failure.
No decisions are easy when you believe they’re all wrong.
So you learn to avoid and forget to deal.
You become so good at concealing,
You cannot even conceive of healing…
There are times when I’ve wanted to explode
And share with the world my many woes.
But when you think too hard, that wire disconnects…
Why am I here?
Why should anyone care?
Every mistake and breakdown were cries for help
But no one is answering,
Not even me.
Poem written by Debra Wallace 1997
