Have you ever contemplated your worth? Then, after careful consideration, thought, "I've got no reason to live, so God let me die." I have so many times it hurts inside. I try to forget my past, but it haunts me. All the images of myself, crouching on the bathroom floor, blade in hand, trembling and crying my eyes out, they all remain as my painful memories. I'd smile and rarely talk around others, but, when alone, my depression consumed me. Sometimes I stare into the restroom mirror and just watch the tears streak down, never bothering to wipe them off at all. Did I gather the nerve to kill myself? Obviously, since I'm here and breathing, and though I tried almost every single night, I, for some reason or other, always stopped. Perhaps I hoped to find love before death. Who knows? I don't think that I ever will, because, the moment I saw him ready to give up, I fell in love and I'm still falling to this day. I've got a new hunger for facing the world, because I wake up knowing that he cares. I never thought anyone possibly could... He is my savior and I was his And together we deserve to live. You know what the best thing is? I'm worth something to him. Yeah I'm worth something. I rock! WOohoo! *×´¨`·.×*Raven Skye*×´¨`·.×* |

this was pretty heavy, and I know how it feels. I'm glad everything is going better for you, and continue that. Also, keep writing! I don't have an attitude problem You have a perception problem. |

This is very heavy stuff. Very nice work... the emotion you portrayed here is very powerful. The message is wonderful... it would do anyone good to read this, no matter what their situation is. I'm so glad that you found the strength to get out of the rut you were in, and still tell about it. That could help many people. Beautiful work! I really enjoyed this. --Marie You can’t expect the roses to grow without the weeds. |

This one really hit home - hard. I really liked the poem, but it is a horrible situation to be in. I honestly know how you feel, but not for the same reasons. I really liked the end of this poem though. I am I glad that you have found your reason to live. *Amanda* |

Oh wow, this was so great. I know how this feels. To say something person about my life at a point.....I used to look in the mirror and just cry and be filled with rage at the site of myself. I hated it so much....man O man am I glad to be out of that. I really know how it feels.....I loved this poem and the ending made me smile. Well done here.  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. |

This was obviously a very difficult issue for you to write about, but i'm glad you did, because i loved reading it. I've been there on that level many an hour, and i sympathize with your "saved" feeling as well. I would offer a word of caution about getting too involved when you're emotionally worked up, not to preach doom or anything. I am glad you've really connected with someone and i wish you nothing but the best.

If any poem can speak total truth, this one is it. Everything you wrote in this had some huge impact on me. Your last line is really good. It is self assurance which is always nice to read. ~AF~ Just because I hear voices doesn't mean I'm crazy...SHUT UP IN THERE!!! |

Im putting this in my library. Its the poem I need to read, when I feel like that. I really hope that everything does get better for you. Regina If you only understood my pain then maybe you could learn to be my friend. Be there. My crying shoulder. The smiles. And the caring i need to survive. |
