Analysis of More than Pain, more than mental health
Head beating, hands shaking.
Staring at this page, blank and empty.
“You will never be who you wish to be”
No! I scream internally, I am more than my pain
Staring at this page, heart racing tears falling.
Thinking about how to say, the emotions in my brain.
“You will never keep up, you will fail”
No! I scream internally, I am more than my pain.
Head beating, hands shaking.
I stare at this page, thinking in anguish.
“You-”
Silence! I scream internally and stop listening.
I am more than a number, I am more than my pain.
Too many people have poured into me…
I can’t fall now, I will not fail.
I refuse to accept that I am not equal to my peers.
Too many have helped me progress,
Professors and doctors alike…
My chosen Family…
Too much is at stake for me to give up.
No, I am not just my mental health
I am myself.
But if that be true…
Who am I?
I am...
An Advocate
A Board member and representative
A Mental health worker
An Abuse survivor
A solo family
A chosen sister, niece, daughter, and sometimes mother
A Gamer
A transgender Women
A leader
I am skilled beyond my age,
So much so that I have left some Professors and Doctors in awe.
I am myself. No one else.
