MENTAL ILLNESS

BY: AIDEN DYLAN KIRCHNER

How do you run from what's inside your head? Tormented by my own mind. It was my chaos that made me beautiful. And it all starts with a few innocent scratches. "The was is in my mind and the wounds are on my body", I said. Never underestimate how much pain somebody has to be in to put a razor to their wrist, a finger to their throat, a gun to their head or a pen to "THAT" note. Tormented by my own mind, "I'm being murdered by my own mind". - Depression. Because being asleep is better than being depressed. People aren't born broken, they start with passion and yearning until something comes along that disabuses them of those notions. Just because someone is trying doesn't mean they're okay. Depression you see, is like having an abusive relationship with yourself. Mental Illness feels like that also.
