It Gets Better

Sometimes
I wake up
And I just can’t
I can’t get up
I can’t go to school
I can’t go get my meds
Why?
Because sometimes
It’s too much
Accepting this world
Is just too much
And I just can’t
Make myself
So I lay there
Depressed and defeated
I roll over
Go back to sleep
And pretend
Just for a while
That the world doesn’t exist
And though my dreams
Are far from restful
It seems better
Than facing the world
But slowly
Over time
It does get better
I promise 
And it may not be quick
And it may not be easy
But if you put in
The effort
It’s worth it
So keep going
And don’t give up hope

Hey, y’all! I woke up really depressed this morning, told my dad I wasn’t going to school, and went back to sleep. I had to go through a lot of coping skills and emotional regulation tecniques before I was up to doing pretty much anything at all. But it did get better. I’m still not doing great, but I’m doing better. And for today, that’s enough.
Remember, even when times get hard, that it gets better. <3
