Late Night Thoughts

Its 2 a.m, dark and cloudy.

I can feel the vibration of thunder rattling against my window.

I can see the the reflection of the lighting as it strikes the dark skies.

Laying in my bed in the dark listening to music trying to calm my mind.

I have so many thoughts in my head, it overwhelms me.

I ask myself…Am I a bad person for having a mental illness?

Am I a burden to my friends and family?

Do I deserve to be here?

My depression makes me feel like I’m worthless.

Having these thoughts frustrates me.

But I know deep down in my soul these thoughts are not true.

I have to keep reminding myself…I am stronger than my mental illness and it doesn’t define who I am.
