Silent

Choking wheezing kicking screaming slowly deepening into uncontiousness drowning rope shots guns hearts and hopes fathers daughters and moms high schools homecomings and proms they all stair me in the face like i'm a big disgrace but it could all end if i make the choice to live without a body or voice as a figure that walks among the died and watch as people just turn there head see all the people cry and wonder why but its all my choice if i want to make it that way i just have to not use my VOICE by cortney stone

Cortney, keep writing it helps to write about our pain. You are a person ,you are you, and you are a wonderful asset to the world. One day the ones who put you down will wake up and see this. Until then go on with your life do and be the best you can be. Do it for you and no one else. Pray to God he will help you along the way. Love, Carol
