away from you
and
from the parts of me
that know i am drifting

I Took It For Granted
/
My body was broken,
before I realised it was my own.
I took it for granted,
while it was slowly being taken.
I used it without thought,
I used it without comprehension,
I used it without appreciation…

I wanna quit
I’m just not with it
Feeling like shit
Feeling like a misfit
An unfit and unlit hypocrite
In need of a refit
Don't Worry About Me
/
What's wrong, are you ok?
Why don't you come out and play?
Laugh, smile and have some fun.
It is just wonderful here in the sun!
Take a chance, live a little and smile.
You know we're only here for a little while.
You’re missing out on love, adventure and life.
We never see you, are you in strife?
Other Than Here

The inner storm meets outer calm.
A silent fury.
Impotent rage not expressed.
Other than here,
Other than now…

Following a recent change of medication, I am hyper aware of its importance for my mental health.
It is easy to think that I am ‘fine’ and ‘don’t need the medication’ - but the person that is fine is the person on the medication, not who I will be without its support.
This time, my mental health rapidly declined. I felt angry, confused and suicidal. When I realised it was caused by stopping my medication, I quickly started taking them again.
I don’t like that I ‘have’ to take them, and perhaps in the future I won’t, but until then, they are a must.
