Array ( [sid] => 39399 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Michelle [time] => 2004-03-19 22:10:18 [hometext] => This week one of my sons friends tried to kill herself. My heart searches for words that might find a way into her heart. Please pray for her. [bodytext] => ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Michelle

Do you know how bleak
This world would be without you?
How many hearts you never hear
Would be crying forever?

Do you know how special you are?
How unique and beautiful is your spirit?
I know sometimes life overwhelms us
Seems to smother us in darkness

Our hearts become isolated and afraid
Unable to believe in hope or love
We get confused in our thinking
Quietly pretending to be alright

While depression grows stronger each day
Until every smile, every word spoken
Adds to the pain of loneliness
Until one day you can take it no longer

The thought of nothingness becomes appealing
Why suffer each day with no hope of tomorrow?
Ceasing to exist seems the only answer
You’d rather die than live like this

I am one of those hearts you’ve never heard
You hardly know me and yet
The thought of you taking your life
Overwhelms me with sorrow

If you have no worth?
If you are alone and no one cares?
Then tell me why I am crying?
Why does my heart ache within me so?

Why do I yearn to hold you?
Take you in my arms as my own daughter
Rock you gently and whisper
Everything’s going to be alright

For the moment you are lost in the darkness
And despair of fear and loneliness
But a new day is dawning
Comes to fulfill the promise of your life

Hold on a little longer
Please hear my and so many other hearts
Who care so very much that you live
And let tomorrow be a day of our rejoicing

A celebration of a life that’s so precious to so many
A life that has learned darkness is only temporary
And the greatest lesson of all
Knowing you are never alone

Russ

Well maybe you're being a bit selfish!!! Should she really have to live if it hurts so much?! I don't know how I feel... I recently tried to kill myself as well. Your poem also helped a little. It helped me see the other side of things. It is a wonderful poem, by the way. Well written and emotionally beautiful. Keep up the good work. I know I probably sound like a real b****, but I actually do like your poem. I ike poems that make me think... and feel. Great job!
