My daily struggle

July 16, 2014
By Anonymous

These thoughts of poison
and wanting to end my life
come creeping in like a gas
seeping in through my breath
the frenzy calling my name
whispering me to end it all
begging me to give in
why not?
I always want to die
I just can't deny
how this yearn for death
never ceases
no matter how hard I try
to ignore or bury it try to forget
about it
I can't
why does this poison have to kill my
happiness
every time I get close
the frenzy and those thoughts
come creeping in again
I don't want to be here
better dead then bear these thoughts
someone stop this poison from spreading
the darkness only wants to consume
consume til there's nothing left
the darkness is succeeding
slowly sucking the life out of me
dragging my insides across spiked nails
spreading my guts everywhere
I'm sick of fighting this constant battle
the constant struggle to keep myself
above water
to keep myself from going back to
the depths
and letting them swallow me
but that's how it'll always be
simply because
I am me.

Hi, if you live where it says you live, then I live pretty close to you.  (MICHIGAN ROCKS).  So anyways, I have definately been here.  Clearly, I'm not you and I don't understand, but I do know what it feels like to want to die.  I got through it, and it just took time and being uncomfortable for a really time.  It gets better, I promise.  Which doesnt sound too great, especially coming from some unimportant person like me.  But I'm just saying... hold on, pain will end.

LIFE offers us choices and forces us to live with the consequences of our decisions.

Wow In my opinion i think death is a powerful choice and i think you shouldn't fall in its path.
