Is like another weight
And I don't feel that tough
To hold up "your girl left you"
or "You're not good enough"

I've never had the strength
To hold my burdens on my own
I feel ready to collapse
I feel so very alone.

My best friends don't
Have time for me
I disappoint the rest
I can't seem to do well enough
When I'm trying my best

"You'll never get another girl"
"You don't matter"
"You're weak"
"I don't have time for you right now"
"You need medication"
"What is wrong with you?"
"We're disappointed in you."
"I'm not in love with you anymore."

Each word presses more and more
Adding weight onto the bar
And I can't help but feeling
It's all going to go too far

I ache, I hurt, I can't go on
The words cut like a knife
I feel so close to letting go
And just giving up this life. [comments] => 1 [counter] => 225 [topic] => 65 [informant] => sir_odd87 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => toughstuff )

Life is a Bench Press

I want to cry. This was filled with so much sadness and sorrow and pain. And your words struck me and moved my emotions. Don't give up. Please. If you ever need to talk to anyone I am just a PM away. I will listen if you just need to talk or if just need someone to talk to. I hope that you get feeling better. Great poem.

Take care
*hugs*
