my own little world

**ok, just fyi, this doesn't promote suicide, but it's about someone who struggles with the temptation and doesn't understand why anyone would care**


I am so foolish
why are you so kind?
why didn't you run away
while I was blind?

my fate is out the
door
my courage spilled on the
floor

naive
is where I'm at
there is no second
chance

take a stand and walk away
before someday ends
today

the pills
the knife
try to take over me
again, again
I try
to make sense of this life
even though sense never made life
and life never made sense

every time
i wind up wanting to say -
"Goodbye"
because the the hand that's been delt
can't be changed
and somehow you  are still here
still the same

why are you here?
told you to go away
slapped & talked back
you're still on track
I don't understand
why?

why do you
stay by my side?
why do you
even try
I'm useless
always have been
always will be
and yet...
you're still here
beside a wretched horrible me.
why.


sleep my precious slumber

Hey River, interesting write. To filter ones souces as the truth prevails. We find that we are all like the Sun, full of warmth and light.. and like a seed, they are all the same to me. With endless blooming and new beginnings. That is why the next and new day is, always here. Our prelude to eternity. Thanks for the read.

If nothing is something
then everything is
our thoughts and feelings
and all that exists.
