Array ( [sid] => 126234 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => What Choices Do I Have? [time] => 2006-09-26 18:01:03 [hometext] => I wrote this about a year ago when I was feeling suicidal [bodytext] => Hopeless, empty, and alone, I am out of control. Displaced and perplexed, I sit by myself, in fear and misery, engulfed in black darkness; I do not see.

I am falling into despair and desolation. Has my negative mind ever been anything but destructive? The thick, dark sadness in my spirit eats away at my sanity.

What choices do I have, what choices do I see? What’s the perplexing reason I seam to be?

Who would miss me? I’m not even here. Distant and isolated, my life is hanging in a shadow of solitude. I feel so strange, far away and out of place.

I am, but I am not; so confused and bewildered. What is real, what is solid? Where do I stand, how did I come to this?

My path is hidden from me, my path is crooked and without direction. How am I to navigate through this blinding darkness?

What is peace, how can I attain it? Where is hope, why does it stray from me? What is faith, how can I find it?

I do not feel because I am dead, but to inflict pain to break from the numbness. Where is the balance of feelings and thoughts? When will this emotional roller coaster stop?

How can I break from this invisible gloom, it hangs over my head, like a heavy gray loom.
What choices do I have, what choice do I see? Ending it all seams the best thing to me.

Very well thought out and lovely to read piece of work. I can relate to this in my ways at the moment, I just wish things would start getting easier now.
