Today, I do not need help.
Today, I can stand.
Resolute against the failures of yesterday,
Firm in the face of the trials of today.
Weakness melts in the fire of my resolve.
Today, I am strong.
Tomorrow, I may weep,
Despondant and gasping great gulps of air,
Laden with self-pity and regret,
But today I am strong.
Today I can stand.
Today, I can stand.
Resolute against the failures of yesterday,
Firm in the face of the trials of today.
Weakness melts in the fire of my resolve.
Today, I am strong.
Tomorrow, I may weep,
Despondant and gasping great gulps of air,
Laden with self-pity and regret,
But today I am strong.
Today I can stand.

Hitler's Dream
Hitler's Dream
Blonde hair
Blue eyes
I'll create
the perfect race
one free of the flaws
I see every morning in the mirror
Black hair
Brown eyes
stare out emptily
from the glass that never lies
I hate myself, so I'll hate you
make you suffer as I do
if you are not
my perfect face
you'll feel my pain
you'll feel my hate
you'll burn and choke
on my poisoned flames
I'll make you mine
I'll break the mirror
I'll create a mold
of perfect reflections
so I'll never see myself
staring back at me

I am not my illness.
I am not my illness.
Keira, 16
I've had depression for three years, and I used to hate the way my illness had changed me. I thought I could never be the girl I used to be. But my psychologist helped me to see that my illness can never change the inner me. In the end, I will have changed – I will be stronger for this battle – but my central values and the things that make me 'me' will always remain the same.
I am not my illness.
Mark, 23
I have schizophrenia. People call me crazy, and avoid me, because I hear voices and talk to them. Maybe I am crazy sometimes, when I have an episode. But I'm not always crazy. I may be schiz

In Milwaukee
why does this quaint bird
hop so eagerly into
my beckoning palms?
doesn't he know that
I am the most unwilling
type of predator?
isn't he aware
they say with fearful mouths that
I'm a man-eater?
don't awaken now
not when I have the strength to
spare you so much pain
I can't let you leave,
my pinpricked butterfly, with
your halo of red
