Don't patronize me
it isn't about being strong enough
it isn't about being smart enough
it isn't about pulling yourself up by your bootstraps
and soldiering on.
There are days when it takes
every
thing
I
have
to just close my eyes
and keep breathing.
We fight though,
because the so-called
"easy way out"
is a bomb
that would rip through the people I love
like shrapnel
besides,
who knows if it's a way out at all
or just a door into another level of hell.
Nothing
about being at war
with your own mind
is as simple as
being smart
staying strong
all we can do
is go on
so if you want to help
you can send care packages,
letters to remind us why we fight,
otherwise,
respectfully,
fuck off.
