If I were gone...

Contributed by Irish on Thursday, 4th November 2004 @ 02:40:12 PM in AEST
Topic: Suicide



I want to help,
God knows I try,
But I need help too,
Or I'll lay down to die.

The pain inside,
I feel it throb,
But for some strange reason,
I refuse to sob.

All the rejection,
That's shoved in my face,
I must get rid of it,
And with happiness replace.

I have to get better,
To remain sane,
I have to get better,
And confidence regain.

I need help,
To in life strive,
To not fall from the sky,
And into pavement dive.

I have some help,
But is it enough?
If it's not,
I'll have to hang tough,

For there are some,
That I help too,
That say to me:
"What would I do without you?"

They help me too,
My stress they relieve,
I love to give,
But it's nice to receive.

For them I try,
For them I live on,
For what might they do,
If I were gone?

let yourself sob, theres nothing wrong with having a right good cry, I used to refuse to let myself cry as I thought it was weak, but it is damaging to hold in such an emotion as tears, powerful and sad write,
takecare,

This poem is great because it shows so much confusion you seem to hold in your heart. It's selfishness versus selflessness--and it appears to me like you are clearly chosing the best option. I hope that the sun breaks through your dreary grays and that you may see light and purpose again. That's important. Purpose! I urge you to discover yours. And be careful on depending on people...they always let you down. You to find something true, everlasting, something real! It seems to me that you are on the verge of a major self-discovery, and if you only embrace the pain and keep searching, you will find your life complete. Find your answers. Don't stop looking. Push onward.
