I want you to know that I see you I want you to know that you matter

You were once vibrant and aliveYou knew who you were and understood that your heart beat for a reasonBut somewhere along the way, depression, bipolar disorder, and the voices in your head…They took over and removed your soul from your chestSlowly, as the skin raises up and the blood of life drains from your veinsThey never told you, if you lived sometimes the hardest battle would be the one with your mindThey never told you that people would judge, question, and underestimate youWithout knowing that you fight every single day just to bealiveJust to make your mark known in the midst of your heartache and in the midst of your hurtIt is no easy fight to fight a mind that has made you feel all aloneForgotten aboutIt takes you to the brink then back againIt takes a beautiful woman with a purpose and turns her into a lost soulA man with strength and the utmost power, into a man searching for his armourMental illness is a battleA daily fight, a daily task that you know only if you have been where darkness liesIt scares and comforts you at the same timeBecause you knowSomehow you are not aloneSomehow you are not the only one floating upwards on an ocean that refuses to let you sink, but does anywayI hear your criesI know you ache to smile and I know you wish someone understood that you are tryingThat you are fightingI want you to know that I see youI want you to know that you matterI want you to know that you have made it through another day so congratulations on another winBut most importantly, I want you to know who I am in all of thisThrough all of thisI am YOU.
