My dear "mentally weak" friend:
There was once I felt so despondent and emotionally stressed out, I msged a friend:

Sometimes the world pulls you from all directions
Stretching you thin
Yet expect you to be ok

He replied
You should learn to relax, think of someone you like
Listen to some songs…
It helps…

Feeling better, I said:
I guess every storm comes and passes.
I'll try to keep myself dry while it’s pouring
He then replied:
Well I guess you have to find a shelter then.
Home is the best shelter to keep you dry.

I think home is a 2 way concept.
It's your refuge,
But in turn,
You are your home's refuge too.
Stay strong
because you are much more than that.

i've been left behind by the world
is it my fault
have i been superficial
have i been hypocritical
have i hurt anyone unwittingly

have i fallen into the lower realm
or have i always belonged here

the scars really hurt and i still feel lost
the time doesn't pass and i can't move on

have i opened up too much
bit by bit i built reliance
bit my bit i let lose the rein
bit by bit i allow the lash of the whip
bit by bit i lose myself

realm by realm i allow myself to fall

every ship needs an anchor
sometimes it's so hard to sail on alone
it's so hard to collide with other ships or icebergs for that matter,
on stormy nights
and forgive yourself for it

no ship would want to be an emotional wreck
but it's so hard to remain civil, cordial
when the sailors themselves are drunk
who did not even want to be on the voyage
who are escaping to nowhere

who came up with the maritime rules?
