I'm losing my grip on reality
no longer can i see what is in front of me
I feel like i'm going crazy
and these anti-depressants aren't helping me
What do you do when you hit rock bottom
And the thing you lost on the way was your sanity
My life is far from easy but a smile is all you will ever see
A College athlete on scholarship in jeopardy of losing everything
Because there is more to her life than what everyone thinks
My motivation is gone and i can't find that thing to hold on to
What do you do when your mind says give up
And the thoughts of the summer is bitter sweet
Because home isn't the best place for me
To many crazy people in one place
I no longer have an escape
And the temptation to cut is so great
One slit turns to 4 or 5
Next thing i know is that i can't stop
And now my body is covered in blood
Bitter sweet relief but at what cost
Consider this my cry for help :'(

i wish there was something i could say to you which would make you feel supported, feel whole, feel sane, feel loved. Feel less alone. I understand that "fake it til you make it smile" you are wearing.... so many of us do this. It is easy for me to sit here and say, kiddo, hold on to your future because you will never regret having that degree. Speaking from experience, I only have an Associates and to this day regret not finishing school. Biggest mistake of my life. One of the biggest, anyway. No joke. I am older now and have learned a few things. One day someone actually asked me to not cut any more. I was nearly 40. No one bothered to say that before. It was said out of love. It meant something. So, hopeless25, I hear you, I do not pretend to know your story. I just wish I could help you in some way. I understand cries for help. I understand houses of origin that contain too "many crazy people in one place". But there are people in the world who care and I bet you are one of them. Find your joy... you will.
