Poem: On the edge of breaking down with no one to save me
I have suicidal feelings, no future I can see
trying to hold onto life but I'm slipping away
I can’t help these feelings of suicide today
back to crying myself to sleep at night
I’m wearing down, I can no longer fight
slicing myself gives some relief it’s so hard
to refrain
but I'm so broken I'll do it again
everyday I watch as my life passes me by
constantly having thoughts of how to die
because I’m stuck inside a world I hate
either manic, depressed or in a mixed state
feeling agitated, impatient I find it hard to wait
but I’m feeling empty and very much alone
I choose to stay by myself
because I don’t trust anyone.
