: About Me

I am a 28 year old student of life who knows the difference between chronological age and mental age. I have battled with mental illness my entire life.

You filled my heart with so much joy, I couldn't see, I was your toy. You played with me, I'm not the first, I often think, "who had it worst?" You built me up to break me down, You laughed at me, I was your clown....
