Just a scratch from my cat

Contributed by Living_In_My_Dream on Friday, 18th June 2004 @ 09:15:40 PM in AEST
Topic: Suicide



It hurts so much inside my head,
Some times I think it's worse than being dead.
Doubts and fears scream inside,
Playing with emotions I usually hide.
I feel the tension begin to load,
A pain so hot, I fear I'll explode.
My C.Ds playing, screaming out lyrics of their fears,
There a relief to being alone, no need to hide tears.
Guilt is echoing in my mind, making me feel worse than bad,
A silent wish is spoken, why can't I have a reason for feeling depressed and sad.
The word selfish rings in my ears, the lack of explanation for my mood,
The obvious fact that I have no excuse for being hurtful and rude.
It's all the little things in life that begin to be build up,
The confliction of emotions that threaten to seize me and erupt.
I don't feel the pain,
Even as I cut dangerously close to my vein.
Everything freezes and sort of goes numb,
I watch unblinkingly as the blood runs down my thumb.
A satisfied smile creeps over my face,
A mad like ecstasy is unleashed to give chase.
This is my nirvana and I know it's insane,
But it's a safe hold inside that shields me from all the pain.
Later when im asked 'what's that,'
I'll reply with a brave smile, it's just a scratch from the cat.

This is vivid and awesome in description but also a cry for help. A part of you is very frightened and you must confront it to truly blossom as an individual. You are so brave for writing this. Love from a cynical Brit! x

i love this because i can relate to it, crying when you are alone is so much easier- no one else is there. the tears aren't hindered. great creative expression- i love reading how other people express their thoughts on this site....its so cool.........
