Mental illness has a face

I've lost all sense of what normal is Sat alone in my room I remember what mental illness looks like It refuses to look you in the eye And instead sits on your shoulders Breaking your knees Making you kiss the floor In all of its glory I'm scared of being alone Left with my own thoughts No noise to block out the voices screaming "The only way is out" I don't deserve the people who love me I'm a failure in everyone's eyes.
