Falling
I am spiraling out of control
No one to talk to, no one to grab hold
I try and try, but I cannot stop the crying
Even though people think that I am not trying
I cannot sleep, I cannot think, I cannot eat
I see my mom and dad dying every night when I actually dream
I am not sure how much longer I can go on
With all the pain and sorrow that keeps playing like a song
My brother is still with us and for that I am glad
But after the accident, he will never be able to have the life he once had
I cannot take my mom or dad's place, even though the rest think I can
I am barely hanging on to my own life because every step up makes me fall again
No one to talk to, no one to grab hold
I try and try, but I cannot stop the crying
Even though people think that I am not trying
I cannot sleep, I cannot think, I cannot eat
I see my mom and dad dying every night when I actually dream
I am not sure how much longer I can go on
With all the pain and sorrow that keeps playing like a song
My brother is still with us and for that I am glad
But after the accident, he will never be able to have the life he once had
I cannot take my mom or dad's place, even though the rest think I can
I am barely hanging on to my own life because every step up makes me fall again

I know the feeling of struggling quite intimately. The thing i've found to help me most is the little things. Things that make you feel refreshed. Not necessarily happy, but never sad. Sometimes it pays to find those things more often. No matter the struggle, it is possible to overcome it. Remember that, on here, we all have a friend in each other. To some extent, we all can understand. Feel free to message me if you ever feel the need for it, I'm on here most days and more than happy to lend an ear, a shoulder and a hand. If not, you've got support from all around you. I believe in you. Big hugs from me!
