Array ( [sid] => 24975 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Epitaph [time] => 2003-10-13 15:52:27 [hometext] => i wrote this poem about 6 months ago, when i was suicidal. i am not anymore, still depressed, but coping better [bodytext] => Each night I drift to fitful sleep
My dreams are strained my frown is deep
Every morning I wake early
Cold, sweating, alive but barely
With tangled sheets enclosing me
Each day I fight to struggle free
I feel trapped, surrounded, broken
All my friends just watch me choking
I hate them, I hate myself
I just can’t cope, this life is hell
The more they know, the less I share
For all the signs that others bare,
I myself have clearly shown
And now I feel more alone
Everything I see turns grey
Everyone just turns away
Outside I’m silent and appear calm
Inside I hear a deafening alarm
It echoes all round my brain
And my ears go numb from the pain
So here’s the end to my façade
As my world falls apart
Finally, i know it will end
And I hold up a gun to my head

Topic: Suicide



Each night I drift to fitful sleep
My dreams are strained my frown is deep
Every morning I wake early
Cold, sweating, alive but barely
With tangled sheets enclosing me
Each day I fight to struggle free
I feel trapped, surrounded, broken
All my friends just watch me choking
I hate them, I hate myself
I just can’t cope, this life is hell
The more they know, the less I share
For all the signs that others bare,
I myself have clearly shown
And now I feel more alone
Everything I see turns grey
Everyone just turns away
Outside I’m silent and appear calm
Inside I hear a deafening alarm
It echoes all round my brain
And my ears go numb from the pain
So here’s the end to my façade
As my world falls apart
Finally, i know it will end
And I hold up a gun to my head

Emotional, powerful and deep. This is a very personal and sad write. I am glad that you are feeling better now, I can relate completely. I hope that you only go uphill from here and that your life is filled with joy and laughter...
