The torture of mental disability in me

Mental issues need many tissues
Nobody grasps a mind like we do
Not just anyone is to be trusted
Inside our fragility of thought

Our minds are not a game to  tweak and distort away
Not your way to choose what our
 Right or Wrong is to the world
We don't deserve to be pushed
 Into your wards of insecurity
Making us crazy to the world from
 words of PHDs not people

We have intelligence
We are not ignorant
Everyone presumably believes
Mental instability is things it isn't

Shaming us for just surviving
Then for when we arrive at stability
Never allowing us to grow 
Beyond the negatives you hold
So dear and strong forevermore

Proof that a depression stage
Never really goes away
For nobody allows you to get 'better'

We expect certain actions
Do not look like that
Go to therapy
Listen to happier music
Find better friends
Your tone is wrong
The list just goes on and on

We are never free from our pain we feel
Cause nobody wants it to be let go
We beat it like a dead horse
Till it developes anxiety
Then that grows to sleepless nights
Then the fights start to grow
We try to run away from it
Numb it all away
Find the will to press on and change
Hoping that those who knew me are gone
So that I can continue to move on
Yet everynight I lay awake
Next to yours truly
Husband of little words
Reminded I am stuck with what I am
Till someone has the sense to see
Me for more than a mental illness
That gets in the way

I usually do reply to everyone, I guess my last one didn't post for this. Plus it is also late in my neck of the woods :) thanks all for the replies and I am happy you all enjoyed what I wrote. I tend to write my thoughts better then manage them ironically lol I have many struggles and I write nothing fiction and all of it is usually about my own inner turmoils. I am just glad that others can see and relate to what my mind struggles with. It is nice to not be alone.
thank you all for your kind words they are very nice to have ?
