I can't go on like this

Post by hope1994 » Sat Mar 01, 2014 10:33 pm

I want to be happy, I really do...
It's just hard.
Everyday it gets harder and harder;
The skies get darker and darker;
My heart grows colder and colder with each passing day.
I can here the blade calling my name,
My mind is telling me to cut, that everything will me better,
but my heart is telling me to be strong.
I just don't know how much longer I can take it.
Everyday it's the same routine;
Fake smile, fake laugh, and make everybody think I'm happy...
I just don't know if I can take it anymore.
Life is a war, and I don't think I'm winning anymore

Nice dark poem, I can relate. I really liked the end line
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing, Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before

I came back to comment again on this again because life recently reminded of it. I have, do and will always understand the pain, that is screaming in this write. Your ability to convey those thoughts for not just yourself but other to see. Well that just something intriguing about you and your ability to actually feel. Now writting because your feeling is says alot about you. Stay strong I forget to now and again! We all fake a smile or two ... helps keep the insanity!
