somebody check my pulse
i dont think im breathing
im losing this fight for life
and like a stone, im sinking

somebody save me
pull me from the wreckage
this broken pile of nothing
is all i have to salvage

im a mess and im all alone
i can hear you in the airwaves
i need you to tell me that i will live
and that it will be okay

the echoes of my past
still haunt me to this day
wishing that the scars will die
but they will never fade

somebody check my pulse
i know im not breathing
please dont let go of my hand
because its saving me from sinking

A Clockwork Orange is a theatrical masterpiece.
I've lived many a moment such as that myself.
Dosn't always work, but I sometimes just remind myself that things can always be worse.
just remember, you still have your limbs, mental cognition, a place to sleep, food to eat; and you don't have to worry about a bomb crashing through your house in the middle of the night, killing you and your entire family.
Dreary, I know, but it happens. Simple fact is... Life sucks....from time to time. The key to battling such hardship is to find your realm of power, a passion which excites you more than anything else, and instill it into the very fiber of your being (like poetry or music for instance) speaking of which, when I get to feeling like letting go and throwing everything away, I write a poem about someone in a worse position than myself. It might work for you as well. I'm sorry for such a lengthy comment; It's just that, though you probably don't believe it, I've been there before, and I think what you're going through is one of the worst feelings a person can possibly endure. I really liked your poem btw, keep them coming.
Remember no matter how tumultuous and violent a storm gets, the sun always breaks through the clouds eventually.

Bryan- I have always enjoyed your writing... and this is no exception.

Great job.

What would you attempt to do...if you knew you could not fail?.

I like the last stanza the most- it really summed it. Only suggestion I have is maybe capitilize the 'I's but thats just me being picky. I liked it- it was  good . Good writing!

I really like the style you use in your poetry and I cant wait to read more! I really feel like I can relate not just to your message but how you deliver it.
