Don'T Want To Live Don'T Want To Die

I don't want to live 
Yet I don't want to die 
I'm trapped in a living hell 
I can't move forward 
No matter how I try 
My feet are set in concrete 
My mind confused 
Foggy not sure what is real no more 
i feel a thousand cuts of intense pain 
Emanating from my core. 

No love in my life 
I wither 
Silent tears flow like a river 
Climbing a new mountain everyday 
Watching others getting on happy 
Upon my way. 

Tormented haunted by my horrific past 
Dreams and hopes just shards of glass 
Won't Someone take my hand 
and lead me to a world I understand and can finally breath out 
And live 
I have so much love to give. 

The walls are closing in.

Hi Peter, You have penned such a sad write with raw emotions. You are not alone, many have felt this way at one point in their life. I am one of them.I don't feel that way now. You may not see it now, but up ahead there are brighter days my friend. But in the mean time take my hand: -) Alexis
