By Debbie Harry

The idea was to be desirable, 
feminine 
and vulnerable, 
but with a resilient, tenacious wit, 
rather than poor female 
sapped of her strength by heart-throb. 

By Stephen Fry

There is no 'why', it's not the right question. 
There's no reason. 
If there were a reason for it, you could reason someone out of it, 
and you could tell them why they shouldn't take their own life.

Mental Illness

Some people just could not accept that it is the brain,
Not the metaphoric heart.

Something is wrong with this brain,
And it is not of my doing,
It is not of my wanting.

Some people just do not want to acknowledge that there are things in this body not under my control,
Not under my authoritative plan,
No longer a mind-over-matter thing;
It is a matter to be reckoned with.

It is to be respected,
To be understood,
And to live with.



Loved and Lost,
Lina.
