You are not special

As much as you might think so, you are not special.

You are not the only one struggling.

You are not the only one who needs to lie on the floor for two hours every night and stare into space.

You are not the only one crying in the toilet at work.

You are not special.

You are not the only one with a mental illness. 

You are not the only one who still has to go to work.

You are not the only one who still has to go to work yet wishes they could stay home yet when they get to stay home they wish they could go back to work. 

You’re not the only one who’s stressed. The only one who’s struggling. 

You are not the only one who’s allowed to freak out.

You are not special.

You are not the only one who’s life hasn’t stopped for this, with all their issues and personal battles. 

You are not special.

But you are also not alone.
