No, I'm Not
No, I’m not getting up.
I’ve done this over and over again.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results.
I’ve been getting up whenever society beat me down, expecting society to see my strength.
Instead, society lunges at me again and I’m face down in the dirt once more.
No, I’m not trying harder.
I’ve done this over and over again.
At first I believed 100% wasn’t enough, and so I started fighting at a 110.
Now I’m working overtime, mentally struggling to keep up with the 230% society wants from me.
Yet, all I’m getting is try harder, again and again.
No, I’m not filling out this form.
I’ve done this over and over again.
When were you born? When did the problems start? How have you managed to live life thus far?
I was born many years ago, and the problems started not long after that and I haven’t lived, I’ve fought.
I’ve screamed, kicked, struggled and I’m getting nowhere.
No, I’m not overreacting.
I’ve been accused of that over and over again.
I’ve been told to go outside and soak in the sun, as if the UV rays automatically fix all my problems.
I’ve been mocked after confiding in people it’s hard to get out of bed in the morning.
I’ve haven’t been taken seriously for years by the government who thinks nothing of my struggles.
No, I’m not giving up on life.
I’ve given up on other things over and over again, but never life.
The quality of my life has had as much ups and downs as my mental health.
Good days, bad days and everything in between.
I tell people because I want them to listen.
I tell people because I want them to know.
Getting out of bed isn’t easy for everyone.
In bed and out of bed, but something’s missing in between.
The blanket weighs down on me, smothering me in comfort.
The world is a scary place and society has proven that it doesn’t want to help me.
No, I’m not getting up.
I’m tired.
No, I’m not trying harder.
I’m about to explode.
No, I’m not filling out this form.
I’m tired of being ignored.
No, I’m not overreacting.
Try walking in my shoes for a week.
