I get you - poem

I get you

You’re not alone when you think that everyone around you has something better to be doing than listening to your problems – I get you.

You’re not alone when you think that you’re wasting everyone’s time.

You’re not alone on the sleepless nights or the long walks that have recently become part of your daily routine. Something so integral that keeps you on the right path.

You’re not alone when the frustrations of not being able to explain how you're feeling take over – I get you.

You’re not alone when the feeling of shame and thoughts of letting people down fill your mind.

You’re not alone in the times where you find it really difficult to imagine a future, where you get yourself so worked up about change and not wanting to move on.

You’re not alone when a good day can suddenly turn negative and the confusion of not understanding why can leave you angry and upset – I get you.

You’re not alone when a situation or circumstance can leave you wishing you were different, wishing you could ‘fit in’ and do things that come so naturally to other people your age.

You’re not alone in the feelings of uncertainly over decisions you struggle to make, the feelings of worry about the future and fear of not being able to manage the feelings you feel.

You’re not alone when something happens unexpectedly and instead of accepting the change for what it is, you freeze and have to take yourself away from the situation – I get you.

You’re not alone when something that seems so easy to other people requires so much more effort and perseverance from you.

You’re not alone in the darkness of a bad day, the emptiness of a bad week or the fears of the next month.

You are not alone. You are seen. There are other people in this world that feel the same things that you do, it just takes time to find them.
