A Poem: Pretending

I’ve lived a lie
Most of my life
Undiagnosed,
Pretending I was like them.

I’m just trying to be healthy like them again.

I do hide my illness though, a lot.

Because I fear how people will respond to me.

And that makes me feel awkward.

Well basically no one needs to know at work, for example, it is a private thing

32, when I was finally properly diagnosed and medicated.

17 years since my first break until I got help.

Was a heck of a ride, but if I remember right you have longer than I do.

I remember dancing naked with spirits in the rain at 3 am, cause you know, reasons that made sense at the time. Lol.

I hope you’re doing ok dude.

Good one, and thank you.

:v:

The truth is so painful, that I don’t really fit in with others. Like you said.
At least there’s hope.
