Mental Illness

As the days go on,

I can no longer pursue in my dreams.

The constant pain in my chest that delays my breath,

I no longer feel confident.

My heart seems shallow, empty even.

Racing thoughts but on an empty mind,

Unemotional and unattached,

Can I please have my sanity back?

I feel like I can't breathe,

My chest contracts,

Vision is hazy,

God, Please save me.

Overthinking and thoughts racing I'm stuck inside my mind.

I want out and I'm screaming, please does anyone hear me?

It's dark and I'm alone,

Anguish surrounds me.

I can't leave, It's always there screaming

"You'll never be normal."

Please, just shut up for once.

I want to be happy, normal, and not insane.

This is my cry for help, do you hear my pain?
