My soul decomposed within me long before,
I'm just a empty corpse without a home,
Just an abandoned idea without a form..

Did they really think I would thank them for the attempted lift?
Is being corrupted and destroyed really a gift?

'Not What I Needed' reflects the despair of true depression; but you must try to remember that depression is a cyclical illness; so when you're that down there's nowhere to go but up -- and that you will -- and at some time in the future, life may even be great. I know what you are going through -- first-hand knowledge. Persons like us have to learn somehow to deal with our desparate feelings and chronic illness. Suicide is not the answer. It leaves a terrible legacy -- and really -- it is kind of selfish in a way. Regardless, out of your agony came a truly readable and clear and beautiful poem -- so at least something good came out of all your pain, what?
