Trying To Hold On - Tumblr Posts

Everyday

I need to apologize for my mental health.

I can't do as much as I once could.

Socializing hurts

And it can take days to recover.

Everyone wants a piece of me;

How do you triage love?

.

I am cruel in my silence,

But ignoring is easier

Than having to explain.

Some can't take no for an answer

And I can only hold out for so long

Before my guilt drives me to consent.

So I shield myself

Trying to keep me safe.

When everyday is a battle to stay alive

Is it evil to prioritize me?

- by me, Andrew
