Array ( [sid] => 51109 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Internal River [time] => 2004-06-09 10:46:52 [hometext] => I'm not suicidal I just write like I am. [bodytext] => Even though they cannot see
the river flowing through me,
it reminds me of the pain
and the things that I can't be.

No matter what I do,
no matter what I say,
they rip away my life,
they try to throw it all away.

I know they think I'm worthless
and the future that I live for,
but they don't seem to realize
that I'm farther from the shore.

I need a boat to save me,
I'll get too weak to float.
But do they really care?
They most definitely don't.

I care about a lot of things
and everyone I know,
but there's just one person of them all
who helps me stay afloat.

They can slash at my spirit,
they can tear at my soul,
but at least I can forget
that the river water's cold.

Many days I'm happy
but many more I'm not.
This one person's always there,
it really means a lot.

Thank you very very much
but the river's flowing fast.
I love it that you're here
but how much longer will I last?

The deeper that it rises,
the weaker that I get,
until I get too weak,
until I need a rest.

I'm too scared to let go
of all the hope that I have
that soon I'll escape
and then I can laugh.

But the longer I wait,
the farther my sanity sinks,
til I can't reach the surface
and there's no way to breathe.

There's no one to notice,
not even you.
I really didn't know
this would come so soon.

I love you, I'll miss you
forever on,
I hope that they're happy
now that I'm gone. [comments] => 3 [counter] => 199 [topic] => 36 [informant] => AnaBanana [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Suicide )
