I just want you to be okay. No more pain.
Justin Case Mar 2021
The
Thoughts
Fill my head
They just won't    
Leave me alone.             Death won't ease the pain.
How           Long                 It just passes it on to
Must I Suffer? I                                          |_   some
Don't  know if I                                                 one
Can do this any                                                 else.
            Longer.                                        ­         When
Loneliness is                                                      All
Not easy.                                                            ­You
Die                                                          ­            Want
Die                                             ­                        Is death
Die                                                             ­      That's all
Times are tough, but this too shall pass.   You see...
The poem may not make sense, but neither does my thoughts.
A picture is worth a thousand words...

Water, water, every where, but not a drop to drink.
More like
People, people every where, but not a soul to care.

Mentally abusive
Totally intrusive
When I look for happiness
It's totally elusive.

Thinking all about you
Thinking things that can't be true
Making fake scenarios
It's all I ever really do.

It's not your fault, it's all on me
I hurt myself, why can't you see?
I'm the one who beats me up
But you're the one who holds the key.
I wouldn't be depressed if my mind would stop abusing me

The genie gives three wishes, but I need only one.
I'd wish to have never existed. Exceptions? Bar none.

Everybody says they'll listen. They say they care.
But do they really? Or do they just think that they do?
Do they like the idea of being someone that people can go to?

Can they actually handle people coming to them?
Would they know what to do?

If I came to you with my problems, how long before it would become to much for you? How long before you don't want to be that person?

They all think I'm calm, stable, happy, content.
I have years of practice at hiding what's really going on.
Would they like who I really am? Could they handle me?

I am weak.
I am sad.
I am lonely.

Why am I even here?

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me.
Take away this pain. Bring me comfort. Ease my suffering.

They all say they care, but I can't risk finding out if they do.
It would distort who I am to them.
They would see behind my mask.

How long must I suffer in silence?
Is there no one I can talk to?
How long can I bottle this up before I explode?
Not a poem, just a vent

In the worst of times, Hello Poetry is here for me.
She is the only one I can talk to; the only one that understands.

When I crave death the most, I hear a faint whipser from her.
She calls to me, begging me to let her bear my burden,
even just for a time.

She holds me tight and lets me know that I'm not alone.
She tells me that everyone hurts sometimes, and not a bad thing.
She reminds me that my past troubles have passed, and this will too.

Hello Poetry, the one who comforts me when skies are gray
and all seems lost.
The one who doesn't care if I ramble on about the same thing for hours.
The only one that won't judge me for the things I have done, or the things I say.
Nothing I say is stupid to her, all my thoughts have value.

And even though she knows that once she has revived my spirits
I will leave her and completely forget about her for some time,
She selflessly lets me go, knowing that one day I am bound to return.

Even if that day would never come, I know she would celebrate instead of mourn, for she has helped me finally climb out of this hole that always finds a way to bring me back in.

One day I will be okay, and it's all thanks to you, my dear.
