Array ( [sid] => 115954 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Open Your Eyes [time] => 2006-03-06 17:44:10 [hometext] => I wrote this for a friend, who's suicidal ..:(:( pls leave comments [bodytext] => Some of us get hurt
And get our hearts ripped out
We get stomped on
And even our friend’s betray us
Lie to us and abandon us

But no matter what happens
There is always a light
Always someone there
We might not see it
But that’s only because we don’t want to

We accept that everything is wrong
That nothing is right
That all there is out there is bad
And nothing good could ever happen to us

Why do people think this way?
Why can’t they see that we love them?
Why do they not come to us?
When we’re standing here with open arms

They think they don’t matter
But if only they knew
That when they commit that act
They make us feel everything
They do not want to feel themselves
Why do something to someone
You don’t want to be done to u?
Open your eyes
Because you’re not alone [comments] => 2 [counter] => 194 [topic] => 43 [informant] => Gigi_15 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 7 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

I too tried to kill myself.twice.but now I've realized what I have. and the dark times soon pass. Channel those feelings in writing or something else that relieves these thoughts. I still fight my demons as you can tell by my writes, but we all have our moments get your friend to E me if they want to talk. I've so been there my friend.

I hope that when you gave them this poem that it made them realize that it's not fare to poeple who care about you to commit suicide . No one is perfect . One thing I have learned from life is that when you have hit rock bottom the only way is up . We all have felt at some point that life is un fair . Tell your friend to keep their head up . There is to much to live . Take life in your own hands don't let it take you . I felt your poem in a deep way because I to have a friend whose been talking about it. I refuse to let her feel that way . If they won't think positive then you do it for them . You sound like a really good friend . They are lucky to have you .

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
