• For You, The Moon

For You, The Moon

You’ve been here so long.

You must be so tired, yet you carry on with me in tow.

Even with all the psychologist visits and the medication and the whirlwind of suicide attempts. All the angry words directed at you. You called me every night knowing that at night my demons come out to play.

How many tears have wet your shoulders? How much trouble have I gotten you in?

I just want you to know that all this struggle, all this pain, was for you.

I promised you that I would get better. That all this would come to a happily ever after.

I will fix me.

And we can get married, make a home, have kids, and get old.

In exchange for your kindness and your patience, I will give you the rest of my life.

About

Band Back Together is a group weblog that provides educational resources as well as a safe, moderated, supportive environment to share stories of survival. Through the power of real stories written by real people, we can work together to destigmatize mental illness, abuse, rape, baby loss and other traumas so that we may learn, grow, and heal.

On Band Back Together, we put a face to things not normally discussed. We are the face of depression. We are the face of baby loss. We are the face of mental illness. We are the face of abuse. We are the face of rape. We are the face of SURVIVORS and we are proud to be here. We wear our scars proudly, like battle wounds because everything we've survived has made us who we are today: better, stronger, and smarter.

It's time to pull our skeletons out of the closet and make them dance the tango.

We will no longer let our secrets fester inside. We will no longer live in the dark.

All are welcome.
