Mental Illness Sucks

Mental Illness Sucks

©️Aiden Kirchner

I don't think people understand how stressful it is to explain

what's going on in your head when you don't even understand it yourself

However, I keep a lot of shit to myself because in reality

nobody really gives a FUCK

No one really cares until something dramatic happens

Sleep isn't sleep anymore, it's an escape

The problem with depression is you know you'll be okay

but you still feel awful

you know people love you,

but sometimes it doesn't feel like they do

You know doing something will make you feel better,

but you just don't know how to

You want to be well, but you just can't see to get there

It sucks because, I was getting better

and now I'm not not

Mental Illness sucks

Depression

Depression

Never underestimate the pain of a person

Because in all honesty, everyone is struggling

Just some people are better at hiding it than others

"Are you okay?" "Yeah, I'm just,"

Torn, Insecure, Ruined, Emotional, Depressed

Depression is a dark lonely place

I worry my depression and anxiety are always going to keep me from

being the person I dreamed of becoming

Depression is when you don't really care about anything

Anxiety is when you care too much about everything

and having both is HELL

I don't think anyone really understand how tiring it is to act okay

and always be strong when in reality you're close to the edge

Depression is living in a body that fights to survive with a mind that tries to die

Revolution and Anarchy

Revolution and Anarchy

The government says you are free as long as we can control

your resources, your education, your currency, your internet, your military,

your justice and your land

Why elect someone to control your life

We need more people speaking out

This country is not overrun with rebels and free thinkers

It's overrun with sheep and conformists

What you think, you become

Stay determined, start a revolution

I''m not going to censor myself to comfort your ignorance

But first, some REBELLION

We are human, no nationality, we all bleed the same color

If you're not angry, you're not paying attention

YOU are the revolution

Better to fight for something, than live for nothing

The secret to happiness is freedom

the secret to freedom is courage

Thoughts on the World

Following your dreams has been canceled

We buy shit we don't need, with money we don't have

to impress people we don't like

We all bleed the same color, let's love another

instead of hating one another

If you think this shit is bad, you should see what the government is up to

Who will protect the public when the police violate the law?

Don't be a slave to the system

No one is free when other's are oppressed

If you want to achieve greatness, stop asking for permission

PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN and connect with the world

My parents didn't take me serious as an artist

I got accepted to art school before entering high school

but my parents wouldn't let me go, they crushed my dreams

The earth isn't dying, its being killed

And those who are killing it have names and addresses

Revolution

Revolution

When freedom is outlawed, only outlaws will be free

Better to fight for something than to live for nothing

Revolution is coming

The real revolution is the evolution of consciousness

Resistance...

because if we fight, we might lose

but if we don't fight, we've already lost

Nation of sheep

Ruled by wolves

Owned by pigs

When tyranny becomes law

Rebellion becomes duty

The system isn't broken, they built it this way

Well behaved women rarely make history

A woman's place is in the revolution

We are more powerful when we empower each other

When she talks, I hear the revolution

How do you run from what's inside your head?

Tormented by her own mind

It was her chaos that made her beautiful

And it all starts with a few innocent scratches

The war is in my mind, and the wounds are on my body

Never underestimate how much pain somebody has to be

to put a razor to their wrist,

a finger to their throat,

a gun to their head,

or a pen to 'that' note.

Tormented by my own mind

I'm being murdered by my own mind, mental illness

people aren't born broken

they start with a passion and yearning

until something comes along

that disabuses them of those notions

Just because someone is trying

doesn't mean they're okay

Depression, mental illness is like

having an abusive relationship with yourself

I feel bad for the people who never go crazy

Being normal is no fun

My memory is fading and I only feel present half the time

How we survive is what makes us who we are

We are all fighting a battle others may not see

Why are we still waiting for our lives to start?

Art and Writing should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable

You don't like my writings??

You should try living a day in my head

I guarantee you will be glad its me and not you

She was fragile, like a bomb, not a flower

Music, Art, Writing, it connects people

Depression is like drowning except you can see everyone else

around you breathing

Life is a beautiful struggle

She was like the moon...

Part of her was always hidden

Never have I dealt with anything more difficult than my own soul

A nightmare that won't go away

Welcome to reality
