I've always had an emotional/intellectual
disability, but I think there's more to it
and I want off the mood-swing see-saw.

~L.~


Prepared To Get Help.




Melancholy thoughts crawl
through my brain like maggots
eating away the happiness not
all at once but mood swing by mood swing,

So I am standing up with my scalpel
to cut the white worms out
for I'm sick of this see-saw
and want it balanced,

I am big enough to know
I need help to tip the scale
to a more even keel i will ask
for it unafraid but shaking inside,

It is a HUGE step I'm about to take
with my poor balance I may fall over
yet I think I am ready to take it I'll just
pick myself up if I fall and get the help I need.

Sounds like you've got half the battle won Lizzy. If you want it enough, you'll find a way to make it work. I'm confident in you.
