Can I Fall?
The walls and windows
Are crumbling
Breaking
The trees are snapping in half
I’m holding on to a door
Trying to stand
To keep standing
But it’s so hard
Why can’t I just fall with the leaves
And the bricks
Down to the concrete
That has cracks and splinters
I don’t know if I can keep standing
Are crumbling

I’m holding on to a door
Trying to stand
To keep standing
But it’s so hard
Why can’t I just fall with the leaves
And the bricks
Down to the concrete
That has cracks and splinters
I don’t know if I can keep standing

Author's Note
I don’t know what to do honestly. I want to admit myself into a psych ward again, but I can’t think about myself and be selfish. My family is struggling and I have to hold myself together.

Girl, think about being on an airplane…
If it’s going down, you grab the oxygen mask for yourself first.
You can’t help anyone else if you’re incapacitated.
Take care of you. That your #1. It’s NEVER selfish.
