Array ( [sid] => 44269 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Maim [time] => 2004-04-22 11:00:12 [hometext] => sometimes I just want life to end [bodytext] => Not sure how much longer I can keep
The knife locked away in my dresser drawer
I hear it teasing me,
Beckoning to put my depression on hold,
Just for a little while
That’s all I need to lose total self-control
I’m drowning in all this
And I almost wish
I’d sink completely to the bottom of this jade pool
I have already lost myself in this eternal war
So unaware of how much damage I’ve done
Wonder what I can do with a gun
Unsuspected, everything’s turned upside down
My feelings are scattered all over the place
I can’t even look at my own face
So ashamed of what I’ve done
And surprised that I didn’t see this coming
I’m tired of running away from my inner fears
Locking them inside, to mold and decay
Don’t know what to say
I tried to warn them that I wasn’t feeling sane
Let go of my hand
I wanna hide in my wonderland
Away from all man-kind
Somewhere far, far away
I’d give anything to not be constantly feeling this way
Overwhelming myself with things that aren’t real
Hoping I’ll believe my own childish lies
Can’t except reality,
When I’m not too sure what that is
Give me the courage to end this strife,
Please god, hand me the knife

Hey, when I read this one I recalled my poem 'I Killed Myself' -it was written in the very same emotions as this. Great work!
