Connections

"I am not alone" something I must remind myself It can be so easy to convince yourself You have no one to count on I promise you that is not the truth Stunted over the years of self diagnosis reinforcing fears Fear of rejection Fear of rejection An all out assault on any shreds of self esteem Gut wrenched daily making it hard to breathe A laundry list of reasons To stifle yourself place blame on the seasons For you as much as it is for me To remind myself connection is what sets you free Power of connection Power of connection Technologically accelerated warfare Stigmatized mental care I'm not alone and neither are you Keep telling yourself that's the truth Even if you don't believe it I know I don't but I hope to achieve it I know it's hard to see it the forest for the trees but You are not alone in this I see you, hear you and feel you You exist to me if I exist to you
