This is almost a sequal to "The Day In Which I Was Enlightened"


Stop these voices that control my mind
I’m shaking so slightly, scared of what I might find.
The room is dark as I sit crying in despair
There is blood on my T-Shirt and I don’t know how it got their
Help me I scream, but nobody comes running to my side
The devil controls me now and to his rules I must abide

I take one step towards the edge the hurts too hard to explain
I can’t control the memories they keep driving me insane
I take off my shoes, all tacky and torn
I step towards the edge knowing I should never have been born
Blood trickles from the sky like raindrops on my skin
A road appears before me, as I let the torture slowly begin

But out of nowhere I hear a cry
It’s my baby girl and I have to try
Her plaintive cry saved me once but next time it may not
That’s why I’m sitting her mam I need to see the Doc
I think I need help and I need it now
I need to live for Ella and I need to know how
I can’t keep living in the past, all the hurt that I still feel
This hurt needs to go away and you need to help me heal

Each day is filled with just enough luck to get us to where we need to be
Weather that be to a councillor or to our family we just need to wait and see
I can’t give up like I once thought I could,
I can’t keep crying, I need be strong just like my mother would
Another tear will make us stronger
And another trouble mightn’t make us live any longer
But take each day as warm embrace
Hold your head high and face each day with grace
We are all human, some a little more than others
We all live to be angels even our fathers and brothers
It’s our destiny to wake up to ourselves before it is too late
Ella saved me today and I know this is fate

You also spelled "councilor" wrong in the last paragraph but that's only by one letter so that was most likely accidental!
anyway, great poem..strong feelings and i really loved it. I read it and it really didn't feel like it was forced rhyme which is great!!
my favorite part:

I can’t give up like I once thought I could,
I can’t keep crying, I need be strong just like my mother would
Another tear will make us stronger
And another trouble mightn’t make us live any longer
But take each day as warm embrace
Hold your head high and face each day with grace
We are all human, some a little more than others
We all live to be angels even our fathers and brothers

I really loved that because i think everyone can relate to that even if it's in a different way, whether they relate in the pain and hurt that you wrote in, or somehow in their own happiness and joy..It just translates different ways!
Anyhoo, good job=]

My tears of love are a waste of time if I turn away..
my love is a waste of time
if you never stay
