Poem: I began to feel pressure building up in my chest
Another great episode, I’m put to the test;
I question my life and why I am here
Consumed with distraction and overwhelmed with this fear;
Will it destroy me, hurt all those I know
This feeling of hatred beginning to grow;
And then a glimpse of happiness comes into my life
For a moment no pain, no suffering, no strife;
I live in the moment in hopes it will last
I act out like a child and soon it has past;
I awake to reality and see all the pain
The destruction I have caused, I will live with this shame;
My mind is so sick I hate who I have become
How could I be so selfish, so careless and dumb;
The guilt is overwhelming, it eats me alive
Just another episode I barely survived....
