My Friend(s)

I have a friend, they like to sit on my shoulder and sing to me. They like to laugh and joke and make people laugh. They always are willing to stop everything to help a person in need and do anything to make them better.

My friend loves life and wants nothing more then to talk to people and make they happy.

But...

I have another friend. This one Also sits on my shoulder but shows up when I'm alone. It whispers thought and tells me things no one wants to ever head. It will start yelling and screaming anytime, even if I'm not alone. It makes me cry and want to scream myself with all of the things it tells me.

It never wants to be awake and it does anything to never leave. It takes 'naps' that last 5 hours because it makes the pain stop.

These 'friends' are the two sides of me, depression and the fake side. No matter how hard I try, most of the time I must fake it and live my life. I must cover up the depression and fake it so my family hurts less.

The only problem is, I've faked it so long, the depression might be the real me.

I am not strong

Yes, I can beat you in arm wresting and I can pick you up but I am not strong I break with each step I take, trying to go further.  I shake feeling as if the ground is breaking right under me I cry as if there is no tomorrow I scream like I'm being killed in the worse way Yet, these mean nothing to you  Why? Because, I force myself to be strong with you. I must make myself strong for you because you need me, you all need me.  That is how it has always been, me forcing myself to be strong and you never seeing how weak I am I plan to keep it this way

Live With Them

When we were young, we were taught that demons and monsters are only in our minds, they can't hurt us because they are just shadows. We are told most things that live in the dark are all in our minds and are just our eyes being filled with fear, disforming realtiy. I wish this was true. The part about how demons live in our heads is true but they can hurt. They can make our arms and legs bleed with self-hate or make us stay awake some night remembering all of the things we have done right, how many we have hurt because of our demons. Demons infect out minds, making our minds and body work different; our demons tell us what to do and make us hate ourselfves more they how a cat hates a mouse. Some of us die just to stop the pain and kill our demons If you were ever to think " They don't rule you! " live in our mind because you would be crush under the pressure and scream for it to stop. The thing is, once you have demons, you can't kill them. You can o...

Hide

I know you care and I know you hate to see me in so much pain, therefore I hide it. I hide the demons that live in the dark, I hide my tears behind a smile and a laugh. I know you deserve better then to see me in complete darkness, never wanting to see the light of day again; Praying to up above to end this pain and sorrow. Even if I wanted to show you, I don't know how or where to begin. There is no point in sharing because my demons are a part of me, just like my lungs and heart. If I were to tell you, how would you react? Maybe you would ask me for the hundredth time " Are you okay?"  or maybe you would tell me " You are better then to let this rule you!" . Why can't you understand, I can't be strong anymore! However, you won't know because I'm always hiding.
