This is a vent :)

I'm known as the the therapy friend
But when do they realize that I'm
Gonna need a therapy Friend too
Now this may sound petty
And I don't mind if you think it either
But I'm in need of assistance.

I am in the middle of a pandemic
In a world where I can be walking down the street
And my body can be found in the streets , for what ?
The color of my skin

I live in the reality where I can be harassed or assaulted for what ?
The person I love
I live in a harsh world where my only escape is inside my mind
Where lives a dark side that comforts me in darkest of nights.

I feel so alone at night
The coldness of the air stabs at my arms and legs like thousands of needles
And the only thing that keeps me warm is the dark parts of my mind
The parts of me that thinks I am always alone
The parts of my mind that thinks I will die alone.
That part of my cuddles me and gives me warmth like a lover does.
And that's what keeps me warm at night

I keep these things to myself and put away because I'm the ' therapy friend '
And it would out of character of me to tell this.

Oh but I can't tell my parents this because they think it's stupid
Oh no , not in the way you think
They think it's stupid because I'm ' too young '
I may be young , but I am old enough to know that the world we live in is absolute hell...
But no , they refuse to accept that

And my friends refuse to listen because I'm the therapy friend
