#straws
Be
careful
of
the company you keep
the
quest to belong
straws
the
imagination
and
stray
bullets
kills
the
innocent

no more guesses
not another assumption
you tell me what's on your mind
let me know what you need to function
but i just can't grasp at straws any longer
you let me know
when you're feeling stronger

Laying in bed
Grasping for straws
Ignoring what's said
No care for laws.
This lack of care
Is what put you there
How should I feel
Been stuck with your bill.
But I'll still wait
For the time to come
I know it's fate
For you'll be undone.

Straws.
I feel like the phrase the straw that broke the camels back
Every straw crushes me, I need some slack
except my back was broken long ago.
and yet my ‘friends’ keep unloading their straw ammo.
The straws push all positive thoughts out of me
I tell them to stop, but they won’t so where can I flee?
what can I do?
who knew life could be affected by so few
I want it to end yet fear pain
I feel like its making me go insane
I don’t want to be able to think,
I most certainly feel on the brink.
Who can I reach out to without feeling shame,
They already hurt me with that nickname
I know everyone will judge me
I wish I were normal, what a life that would be.
Month by month it gets more unbearable,
and if I got out am I even repairable?
the straws are apart of me now,
I don’t see my life getting much better somehow.
All I want is to block it out
but it bottles up inside me I try not to shout.
Surely nothing can get better than this,
ceasing to exist may finally provide me will bliss.
But in the end, here I am, at the end of my straw
I do not wish to take any more.

I bore you,
And I bore into you.
Leaving you with nothing to say;
Leaving me clutching at straws.

Depression, self-hatred
It seems everyone is affected by it
Whether personally
Or if it is a family member
Or friend
Sometimes people don't even know
They are affected by it
Why is their brother so drawn away?
Why does their mommy not want to get out of bed?
Depression cannot always be prevented
But it can be beaten
With love
If you show people you care
They realize
No matter how one it takes
That they make a difference in someone's life
And that can be enough
To save them from taking their own
So please
Show people you love them
And care about them
Try not to be cold to people
Because you don't know what they are dealing with
And that sneer you give them
Could be the last straw
The one that breaks the camel's back
And all their strength and willpower
Comes crashing down
Smile
Give people something to hold on to
Until they can find Hope
