I Hate This 10-13-08

the walls are closing in...
im screaming...
but i cant let anyone hear me...
no one can hear me...
no one should hear me and try to save me...
that would only hurt them...
they need to stay away from me...
i need to stop hurting them...
i hurt so many people...
i need to stop screaming for help...
i need to suck it up and deal with the pain...
i need to stop being a wimp and randomly crying...
i need to stop...
i should give up...
i need to give up...
i want to give up...
but i cant...
that would hurt the people i love most...
that would hurt them more than anything...
so i cant give up...
i want to...
but i cant...
so i gotta suck it up and deal with it...
i gotta keep praying...
i gotta keep hoping...
i. need. help.
