(I'm braver than brave SaraTherase... and so adventurous. And stubborn, determined and focussed).
I read your poem, BJAsapace. It spoke to me in two different ways. Maybe more.
Quote:
Me, Myself & I
What are you doing?
You do nothing with yourself.
You sit at home all day.
What about your mental health?
You refuse to go to school,
You despise medication,
You hate being alone
But choose to be isolated.
You want something in life,
You just don’t know what.
The empty satisfaction
Is sometimes not enough.
What about when it’s gone?
Do you chase more illusions?
Questions on top of questions.
What’s the final conclusion?

I live with people who you are describing and all too often I spiral into the questioners frame of mind. When? When and what will you do? And WHEN? It's family. We're working on it. Oh, dear God, it is such slow work. I believe we came to do this work together. We need each other.
So then, I listened to
Unwell which you linked on YouTube. Somehow, it helped me feel not so overwhelmed by the mistrust in their lives (empath me). Then came comments by H:O:R:A:C:E. I like reading his stuff, so I was happy the wise-one was here. Then the dueling musical links with H:O:R:A:C:E caught my attention.Honest, I tried to keep up. I felt like I stepped into a different world... a foreigner in some of those music venues... and then, I found this "Five For Fighting - Superman (Lyrics)" and was glad I had kept trying. In this "dance" with mental illness, I think we are all Superman or Wonder Woman. Sometimes I'm the villain too, and blow up the house with my impatience. But I'm flying. Like SaraTherase said, Thank you for sharing.
