Stigma - Thousand Thoughts

I hate the way it

Hides among the shadows, Waiting for theS

Lightest bit of storm…

It was not my choice

To be this hollow

Or to be so

Numb with sorrow

As I fall into the sinkhole, I

Pretend I’m strong when it’s…

…All going wrong.

I

Hate the way they

Carry on the stigma

Even when they say

We should unite

T’s times like this

I learn who’s got my back

‘Cos they don’t

Practice what they preach

As I fall into the sinkhole

Will anybody even reach?

You know how long it takes

To see if I’m okay —

There are no excuses.

I

'm fed up, I’m done;

Had enough of it

Silently yelling

‘Cos no-one seems to listen —

You’re so oblivious, incoherent

And inconsistent;

We need to talk about it more

But you lot need some wisdom

Smiling’s getting tiring

Under this condition…

Cerebral cataclysm

There are people I

Put on a pedestal, terrible

‘Cos there isn’t a reason to

And they don’t have a clue

What I’m feelin' I’m sick of

Repeating myself

Mum isn’t well

Going through hell;

All it takes is a message and

A message only takes seconds

You know how long it takes

To see if I’m okay —

There are no excuses

I’m fed up, I’m done;

Had enough of it

Whenever I explain

It never seems to change

So I just back away

I’m fed up, I’m done;

I’m tired of feeling alone

Slowly, I’ve become

So disconnected

My eyes are red

Can’t handle it

Black like liquorice —

Pain discomforting

My minds abyss;

My life’s in bits

You know how long it takes

To see if I’m okay?

There are no excuses

I’m fed up, I’m done;

Had enough of it

Whenever I explain

It never seems to change

So I just back away

I’m fed up, I’m done;

I’m tired of feeling alone
