Partying,
Drinking,
Smoking.
Something's wrong with me.

Cutting,
Proposing,
Peircings.
Can someone please help me.

My world I once knew
Oh, so well
Has crumbled under my feet.

I realize now,
all my pain is
From down under.

Once again the needle
hits my bear skin.
I just can't seem to stop.

Addicted
Just one more night
I whisper to myself.

In the night I realize
All the things I've gone through are
From down under

The man I once knew and loved
had lied to me about the
other girl

In my life,
Everything with my brokeness is
From down under.

This poem was written when I felt like I had lost all control over everything in my life. This tells some of the basics that I've gone through over the course of the past three to eight months.

...one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings have changed, I will have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love....I love...I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on. -Mr. Darcy

I'm sorry that you had to go through all of this....I hope that it all works out and that you become a stronger person because of it all! Very well written and moving poem.
