If you would have just looked at me once,
You would have seen how broken I was,
If you would have just listened to me once,
You would have heard the
Pain in my voice,
If you would have just checked on me once,
You would have seen my scars.
I didn’t hide my scars, you were just too far gone
To notice them.
To notice me.

It’s ok. I completely understand how my resonates can cause some sadness. I can resonate with this exact poem because when I was battling a huge fight with depression several years ago, my friends, and family saw how broken I was and they saw the pain in my eyes but yet did nothing and said nothing to help me in anyway. I was battling my depression by myself, walking around feeling invisible in a world of darkness. I felt absolutely hopeless and unworthy. It got so bad I didn’t want to live anymore and attempted several times to take my own life.

It’s even harder when the people around you act like they don’t see that something wrong. No one ever deserves to go through what you went through, feeling alone because the people around you see you but act like they don’t. I hope you are a better place now and a different environment where those around you understand and actually see you.

Yes. Exactly. Thank you so very much. Since I have weeded out a majority of those toxic people, I am at a little better place mentally and emotionally. Also since keeping my circle small and only keeping to myself, protecting myself from being hurt by others, and allowing myself to heal overtime, I have found my mental health and emotional health has improved. Also since getting back on WordPress after being gone for a few years and forming bonds with other writers and bloggers, that has also helped boost my self-confidence and my self-esteem because I feel heard, seen, and accepted. Which in turn improves my mental health. I do Greatly appreciate your support and encouragement. Having mutual understanding, support, and encouragement from other writers and bloggers certainly does shed some light where there is darkness 😊

Building meaningful connections is important. I am glad you are back on WordPress and back to writing too. If it gives you joy then do it regardless.
Mental health isn’t a journey that we can say we reach the top of the mountain bit each step we take matters more than we think it does and that’s what matters, the fact that we are moving.
