some nights are easier than others

sweat and tears stain my covers

little by little you drift away from me

until you don’t

because i still see you in sunsets

and i hear out arguments when it thunders loud and clear

and when it begins to rain

I’d rather be anywhere but here

i hate the way you stay

and i love the way you go

but the reality is that

which one is real

I’ll never know

The brain is an organ. Mental illnesses are illnesses of that organ. Brain scans show that there is a physical difference between a healthy brain and a sick brain. Telling someone “You’re not really sick. It’s all in your head.” is like telling someone with asthma “It’s not real, it’s all in your lungs.” The brain is an organ that can malfunction as much as any other organ.
