My secret life is followed by aggressive strife and infidelity
I'm readily accepting this disgusting penalty
possibly I may drown in my wave of sorrow
drinking a bottle of Bacardi while my bones turn hollow
and tomorrow may never come so why do I try
to stay alive in the eye of the beholder, I might as well die
I'm going to cry but I feel no pain
my brain sees plain images of strain and in vain
I try to stop this vein from popping and from watching my blood splatter
pattering on the floor and eventually it won't even matter
cause' time and space has been stopping me from saying
''kill me'', I'm guessing the way I've been praying it's been swaying
me different ways while my persona image is portraying death
while my breath stinks from the stench of crystal meth
I can't take this anymore, my life is done
take this gun and pop me up like it's fun.

Angel,

This is an exceptionally well written long sentence.  It takes me back to my huffing days.  Don't worry, you'll get over it.

Angel, Bobby is right, BUT, you have to take the steps yourself.  To start with, please will you look in the mirror and really see right through your eyes and into your soul, and tell yourself that you are beautiful, that God made you and loves you, and that you love and care for yourself.  Do this at least once a day.

OwlSA,

That's a good idea.  It reminds me of a friend I had when I was growing up.  He always had a smile on his face, even though he was poor, often times hungry, and his old man wasn't working, and he himself was tiny, so he was picked on a lot.

He said every morning, he'd smile at himself in the mirror, then wash his face with ice cold water to freeze that smile there.  It worked well for him.  It's surprising what you can do with a mirror.

BTW, Huffing acetone (glue) can destroy your liver.  Thankfully I gave it up before it hurt me.

Bobby

Bobby I like the story of your smiling friend.  I am glad you gave up huffing (never heard that word before except as used in the story of Little Red Riding Hood) glue.

Thanks Owl,

Come to think of it, I must have looked pretty funny coming down the street holding a bag up to my face.

Sorry Angel, for hijacking your excellent thread.

Angel - This is an interesting piece... it's like your brain is just flowing.  If this piece is telling your story, I hope that you are soon able to stand tall soon and stop floundering with the flow you are going with.  Peaceful wishes.    Deb
