Suicide

Suicide is the darkness that takes over you mind and soul.
You believe all is lost and that no one knows how much you hurt.
That ache that pounds deep within you, keeps calling to you.
How? When? Where? who would even care.
You keep all the pain bottled up deep inside you, so no one 
will see. You pretend to be normal, but you are slowly dying.
Peace by peace you slip further away. 
The tears you shed wishing you were dead.
There is no sunshine in darkness, only the pain that swells 
up in our souls that begs for death.
You try to make sense of all that you have been through, but 
it hits you right in the face, that you are a waist of breath. 
You are not good enough to share this world, and it would be
better for everyone if you were dead, no one will ever love you.
Just end it all,and save this life for someone who is loved.
It's dark but my blood is warm.
I feel no pain.
Suicide is the darkness that takes over your mind and soul.

Anita you definitely are a gifted writer. Thank heavens you have found this platform to express yourself. I do agree with Armand that depression can be very difficult. I truly hope that you do or have reached out to get the help you need. Hugs!!

I would say...start small...give small acts of kindness in every direction...careful, you'll catch yourself smilin' at someones gratefulness! suddenly...love washes over you as you awaken your purpose in life....whenever I'm down...I bring homegrown veggies to the local shelter...or visit shut-in elderly...gets me outa my own head...feels good
