UMD

UMD 
Many out there 
Lost souls at sea 
To outside eyes 
They look normal 
No obvious needs 
They manage to hide 
All the unknowns 
Deep inside they know 
They are never really alright 
Voices in their head
Like they have two minds 
False conclusions fed 
The difference between 
Real, reality and self-made 
All blend together to benefit 
The justification needed 
To love, hate and survive 
Not much else exists between
Comfort found in perfection 
Life is not perfect, explain 
How does this go unnoticed 
Mixed baggage all piled up 
Years of suppression
Years of depression 
Years of wanting to let-go
Suicide known, but refused 
Never really been an option 
Weeks of normalcy achieved 
Days of relapsing and grief 
Turning points amidst it all 
Promises of good change
Made but never kept 
Difficulty maintaing friends 
Emotions on and off 
Like a light switch 
On the straight and narrow 
Then back in the ditch 
Confident in self and strong 
Insecure and weak next up 
Proud of self-growth 
Disgusted with oneself 
UMD: covers it all
Unknown Mental Disease 
To each their own 
Hidden beneath the flesh 
Within the rib-cage 
A healthy beating heart 
Within the skull 
A damaged brain 
A shattered mind 
A habitat to a disease 
Still unknowm 
UMD
