Array ( [sid] => 23157 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Sweet Release [time] => 2003-09-13 07:05:00 [hometext] => There's nothing to gain anymore.. There's nothing to live for..
x_x_x [bodytext] => Why do I drift between life and death
Why is it so hard to take a deep breath
Why do I always say the wrong thing
Why is life the length of some string
Why do I love those who hate me in return
Why is it so mesmerising to watch a flame burn
Why do I hold my head up in pride
Why is there only aching inside
Why does everyone back away
Why do the edges of my world fray
Why is it so easy to think, but not say
Why do I hate living each day
Why have I nothing to gain
Why do I still cause myself pain
Why do I love to see my blood flow
Why can’t I stop and let go
Why do I have a fascination with this
Why only in poetry do I find bliss
Why won’t everything cease
Why can’t you show me your sweet release
Why not let me die in peace
Why won’t anyone hear my plea
Why does nobody listen to me
Why don’t I just pick up my knife
And go ahead and end my own life

Such a sad poem. Such an emotional draining poem, I loved it as I can feel this. Please hold on...
I don't know what to say, because there isn't much to say when people have made up there mind.
Hope something comes along for you really soon that will make you hold on.
Love Emma.

I know exactly how you feel......I felt the same way not long ago, and still do often. I attempted suicide many times, and it isn't worth. Please don't cause yourself harm.....I'd be more then willing to talk to you if you'd like.

Now this is something a lot of people here will be able to relate to. Even I can deeply relate to most of it. Sad write, but put together exquisitely. I loved reading it, keep 'em coming.

To end your life
would be sin
To live this way
is not the nicest
But I wish you to go out
to breath deeply
and change your life
I wish you to get
new lease on life
To find the right sense
cos you were born for reason
not to suffer,
but find yourself
I hope you find .....aika

That poem was a very good one. You are an awesome writer (I've read most of your poems), but I have never honestly thought about killing myself although I have felt like what your poem describes. I can tell you though that you're not the only one who feels this way, and believe it or not there are people that do care about you (I constantly try to tell myself that). So thank you for sharing your thoughts and please feel free to talk 2 me whenever you would like. It'd be good for me, too.
