mental illness poem by a recovering person

I know you may no think so
But I'm trying really hard
I don't do it on purpose
I did not pick this card.


I'm trying my very best
To get this hurdle jumped
But no one els is there
To help me out of this slump.

I don't know what you want from me
Give me a hint or clue
Please give me a sign
I don't know what to do.

If you only knew
How much I struggle in this war
Maybe you would be there
To pick me off the floor.

It's time to stop pretending
Time to open up your eyes
To give me a hand
Instead of looks and sighs

It's not that I don't love you
And it's not that I don't care
The fact is I need help too
I need somebody there.
