Have you ever felt trapped?
It doesn't need to be literal
That dark suffocating feeling
Like you're being dragged down

You struggle everyday
You cry every night
And it feels like
People are pulling you down even more

Will you give me a chance?
Will you listen to a stranger's advice?
I may not love you
but I know you're amazing

Eventually you'll understand
Giving up now,
Is a waste of time
So, live another day, please?

Should we continue playing?
The game of life
Where the challenge is to survive another day
Until you reach the goal

The goal,
Having a satisfied you
If I'm not giving up on you
Then, you can't give up on yourself

Maybe if I pray well enough
Maybe if I wish hard enough
Maybe if I hope long enough
Maybe if I close my eyes tight enough
God will see how much I want it
And he'll reward me with you
Maybe,
Just maybe,
If I want this bad enough
You'll come back
I might be stupid for this but I'm not giving up on us just yet. **update** he did

Today
I am completely utterly absolutely tired
Of all I went through, with or without you.

Today
I want to give up. But I don't know where the exit door is.

I don't know where peace might be.

Don't know where I wouldn't find thee.
2:13 am
And that after two hours of mindless pencil work.
Go away now.

to miss you

hurts less
than
missing you

Sad
Fireworks doesn't captivate me
It lost its colors
Rain doesn't comfort me
It brings cold
Clown doesn't interest me
It doesn't look funny

And I

I don't fit you
Or
It's the other way around

Like east and west
Like ocean and city
Like life and death

We were told not to be together
And neither of us even bother
To work it out nor try harder
Yet, we simply surrender

I sit
Alone
With my thoughts
They swim around me
Teeth bared
Trying to bite
I struggle
But still
Slowly
By inches
Wounds appear
Rips in my mind
Tears in my eyes
This pain grows
How long must I endure
What is left for me
But the fight
The struggle
When do i quit
I stop
I succumb
To the suffering
Is it in me to give up?

No.
Stubborn old man fights.
To stop the struggle
To quit
Is to lay down and
Die.
I am not ready.

So
I sit
Alone
In the dark
With my thoughts.
This time
Will I be ready?
I had a moment of weakness, my greatest shame. I got through it, thanks to some great people and a certified mess-maker (who will never know). But I felt I had to write it down, some of it. And I'm a little tougher now for it. No quitting here!

life is going to ****,
*but you don't give up,
Positive in the negative,

I love you to much for you to run away..
Days has been stressful but dont think this is the end..
The choice to cut is a signal .
I am trying no more ,
Taking a break from doing my best .

There are reasons why one would do it .

To ease the tension ;
Express emotional pain ;
To punish the body for its history ,
Or alleviate inner rage .

To express shame ;
To provide biochemical relief .

I don't know what to
I don't know what to feel
I don't know who will listen
I don't know who will understand
I don't know who I am
I don't know how to explain
I don't know where I should be
All I know is my mind is full of things,
thoughts that almost kills me
regrets that starts to haunt me
Nobody understands me,
nobody listens,
I am so tired listening to others,
why can't they even listen to me?
I am so tired,
I don't know if I can still make it
or should I really give up.
I don't know, wishing that somebody will help me.
