Life Sucks
I'm not suicidal
But sometimes I get
The thoughts,
The feelings,
The urges
The overwhelming
Sadness takes over
And I can't move
Or get away from it
It shuts down my body
And I can't do anything
I get the thoughts
Of ending it all
And it tears me down
But I only entertain
Them to help
Because I know I
Could never go
Through with it
The feelings are
Always so strong,
Leaving me with
Pools of tears
With nothing to
Dry them up
I'm not suicidal
But I do occasionally
Want anything to
Just replace or
Make me ignore
The darkness
I won't go too
Far like bleeding
Or severe damage,
Only enough to
Focus on that
Instead of the pain
I'm not suicidal
But I wonder
How it would feel
To be free of
This continuous pain,
The feelings of being
Stuck in one place
Forever with that
Sadness and pain
It would be nice
To leave them behind,
But I can't, so I'll just
Think about what it
Would be like,
What a better world,
What a better life it
Would be for me
I'm not suicidal
But it all still hurts
