If mental health matters, then the mental healthcare system needs to practice what they preach instead of just say things to look good for their psas. There’s so many homeless people in my town and I easily see myself becoming one at this rate. Do what you can to take care of yourself. Try to avoid shitty drs and therapists. It’s not always easy.

    Theres a hole from here to hell.

    Fall deep, and find no peace.

    In the sea of tragic beasts.

      The gates of hell are open night and day, smooth is the descent and easy is the way.

          It’s from the Aeneid:

          The gates of hell are open night and day;
          Smooth the descent, and easy is the way:
          But to return, and view the cheerful skies,
          In this the task and mighty labor lies.

        The only home sure to accept any and all as they come;

        With open arms and barbed claws, inviting you in before becoming fearsome.

      Everything has a double meaning now but can’t deny I love a good poem. Thank you.
