your mental illness is welcome here
you that feels alienated, neglected and left behind is welcome here
you that feels completely invisible and pushed aside, unsure even of whether you exist or not, is welcome here
one day, i don't want to have to lie anymore
one day, i want to be able to say to others what i'm thinking
i don't want to have to modify my thoughts and words to please them anymore
i want to actually say what it is i'm thinking
without fear of how it will be perceived, or negative consequences
i want to say what i feel and what i'm thinking
without having to fear the consequences
it saddens me incredibly that you prefer and only acknowledge the existence of your fantasy of me instead of the human person that i am
it's like i'm not a human being in your eyes
just what's convenient for you
