Array ( [sid] => 7908 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Anniversary [time] => 2002-12-04 00:00:00 [hometext] => *This next one was written on the 'anniversary' of when I first got depressed. Interestingly enough it is also the girl's b-day (the first girl who rejected me)* [bodytext] => Its been a year now,
But this anniversary
Will not be celebrated
With candles, song, and dance
Or champagne or fireworks
No, I'll just be given
Another dose of meds

I hate feeling like this
Sad, downcast, and sore
Everything is dark
I can't see my attackers
Yet, they bring me down so easily
And wound me grieviously
While I try to fight them off, alone

Unconsciousness is my drug
Or maybe just a dream
For when I am conscious
They attack and scar my mind
Tear at my already weakened body
Instead of being courageous
I'm scared and cowardly

They attack in waves
And divide my body, amongst their devilish hordes
And as I scream in unknown agony
It only seems to draw out
Their pent up fury
Their eyes filled with demonic energy
Seem to tactfully avoid my fear-ridden eyes

Its your birthday
My anniversary
While you celebrate
I will remember, or try to
What it was like to be filled with joy
And I'll try not to cut,
But remembering you is hard

And the darkness surrounds me
In its cold, uninviting embrace
Cutting myself on things unseen
Losing my way, as no light is provided
I rub myself trying to draw in some warmth
I'm left with no answers
So I'll sit here and cry... silently

Sitting here the pressure is immense
I feel like I'm about to explode or drown
The depression, loneliness, rejection
Needless to say I'm not celebrating
Outside its raining and cold
A mirror image of how I feel
Maybe its time for me to leave this place
I think I've had enough [comments] => 5 [counter] => 275 [topic] => 36 [informant] => bobotheclown [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Suicide )

I myself have been rejected before and it's certainly not a good feeling but you know who you are deep inside more than anyone ever possibly could and all you should remember is it's their loss that they didnt take the love that was presented to them....this is a beautiful write, one which i truly enjoyed alot...thanks for sharing this one...
