I need help

My depression has come back  once again 
I need to hurt myself to stop the pain.

I am fed up now and with lack of sleep 
To stop my pain I must cut deep

My blood runs red and puddles on the floor
Please I need help I can't cope anymore 

My mind is in turmoil  strange thoughts in my head 

I want to be alive not lifeless and dead 

I want happiness  and a long  happy life 

Not  cutting myself with a blunt carving knife. 

But the things that I want is just in a dream 
Because my depression has come back 

And my brain  needs to scream.
