Hurting

by Scarlett Dawn 8/25/2014

written by Scarlett Dawn

I cry, but I shed no tears
I’m hurting, but I’m not bleeding
I’m dying, but my body’s surviving
I’ve been broken, but my scars don’t show

I’m withering away, but my body’s still ageing
I’ve lost sight of a future, but I am not blind
I cannot voice my angst, but I am not mute
I feel numb inside, but I can still feel my heart beating

I’ve lost my motivation, but I am still walking
I cannot breathe, but my lungs are still functioning
I cannot feel, but my pain still taunts me
I’ve lost the war, but I am still fighting my battle

I’m a Machine

by Good Adjective 8/25/2014

written by Good Adjective

I’m a Monster, I’m a Machine.

Do I absorb the souls of the animals whose flesh I feast upon daily?

Do I suffer for what I made them suffer?

Do they drag me down for the horror they endured so bravely?

They were all victims, now I am another.

I tell them I’m but a factory and they are my fossil fuel.

Their response tells me they’re not amused.

When I chew their flesh, I know I’m being cruel.

Alone in Despair

by Scarlett Dawn 8/25/2014

written by Scarlett Dawn

Surrounded by people yet all alone.
The summer sun bright in the sky.
Yet she felt nought but the cold of a dreaded winter

Finally she had opened up.
She allowed the world to know the pain she’d hidden inside all her life.
Yet the euphoria lasted but a couple of weeks
Like a waterfall she fell dramatically back into dysphoria

Her heart ached as she laid in her bed, the drugs numbing her body but not her mind.

She embraced her fears but she’d come this far and had just fallen.

Why were they helping someone that was corrupted, possessed by the darkness that haunted […]

My Invisible Family.

by Good Adjective 8/24/2014

written by Good Adjective

My Invisible Family. My Fallen Foes

Crammed into a room with no corners, no ceiling, no floor.

There was nothing but us, scared, blind and ready for war.

It was the last time I saw Shannon, my long lost twin sister.

She was sexy and sensitive and smart,

but I was swifter.

The last time I saw Josh, my long lost twin brother.

He was brave and bright and brought joy to all,

but I was tougher.

I am the hero knight sperm who rescued my imprisoned princess egg but I am also said damsel in distress who waited […]

I am an artist

by Scarlett Dawn 8/24/2014

written by Scarlett Dawn

I am an artist
Though I cannot paint
I cannot write a novel
I cannot act in a film

Yet I am an artist
My paintbrush is my razor
My story is told through my tears
My film is life and my smile is the main character

I am an artist
Whose painting is in cerise beads
Whose story is in each crystal stream
Whose persona hides a reality behind a perfected smile

I am an artist
An artist with a dark truth
A hidden story
And a made up happy ending

I am an artist
An artist that has ran out of space for […]

Session 19: Read between the lines.

by R3T31D 8/24/2014

written by R3T31D

Part of me still hopes for a safe resolution, maybe find someone that is not a religious crack head to try to repair me? Is just false hope, I know that. I’ve known that for some time. I wonder why I kept holding on to this noise. I knew that everyone was going to walk away, to move on.

Everyone moves on, in the end we are nothing but memories that linger in time and eventually fade into nothing. Unless you find one of those people that can never forget. If such a thing even exists.

I’ve been researching more locations in the area that […]

Apologetic

by Scarlett Dawn 8/24/2014

written by Scarlett Dawn

I am not ungrateful for the aid they provided me with. I am not ungrateful for the compassion they showed me. I am not ungrateful for messages they tried to send.

My incapability to be ungrateful has made me surrender to the guilt of being apologetic.

I am so sorry for all the time that was wasted in your attempts to fix me. I am so sorry for having taken up a bed for someone that was potentially in a more crucial state of deep despondency than I.

I do not fear dying.

I fear what I am leaving behind.

My loved ones, my future, my pain.

Yet I simply cannot carry […]

wanting to die

by yagharek 8/23/2014

written by yagharek

BY ANNE SEXTON

Since you ask, most days I cannot remember.
I walk in my clothing, unmarked by that voyage.
Then the almost unnameable lust returns.

Even then I have nothing against life.
I know well the grass blades you mention,
the furniture you have placed under the sun.

But suicides have a special language.
Like carpenters they want to know which tools.
They never ask why build.

Twice I have so simply declared myself,
have possessed the enemy, eaten the enemy,
have taken on his craft, his magic.

In this way, heavy and thoughtful,
warmer than oil or water,
I have rested, drooling at the mouth-hole.

I did not think […]

” WHAT IF”

by thecount 8/22/2014

written by thecount

Suicide is the ultimate form of giving up. In 2001 while watching the movie :CAST AWAY” this poem just came to me. I’m posting here, right now for givingup It goes like this:

What if I gave up today
and tomorrow I won the lottery?
What if I gave up today
And tomorrow I met the woman of my dreams?
What if I gave up today
And tomorrow I started living my dreams?
What if I gave up today
And tomorrow I figured out how to be successful?
What if I gave up today
And tomorrow I came to know I deserved what I want?
What […]

im sorry

by emberdark 8/21/2014

written by emberdark

It hurts I hurt others
I can not take it
My pills in hand
life has been wasted

im done

im ready

don’t stop me this time

Understand it will end like a drop of a dime

I know its selfish

I know it will hurt

But this body deserves it

For it holds little worth

No God – Jesse Gunn

by teardownthewall 8/21/2014

written by teardownthewall

the popes got it wrong
when theres no more ozone
we will see the falacy
with our last breath

we’re all going to hell
with no water to quench the smell
inhaled in a blind hurry
a dead man walking at a feast

and our apologies won’t mean a thing
the childrens eyes will shame every human being
each passive one of us a sentencing
but the law rarely gets you for doing nothing

what we have done
knows no logical bounds
we have spoiled the earth
we gangrape the ground

when our plans got botched
we just stood by and watched
we can not explain away
everyone knew […]

I dream

by thecount 8/21/2014

written by thecount

I have suffered from depression for decades along with addictions etc. In the early 90’s, at my last re-hab
without any warning I began to write poetry. It just came to me. It seemed effortless. Fast forward to Robin Williams suicide, the medias response, such as what did he have to be depressed about? That is such a selfish act, prompted me to jump into the fray. I KNOW what the feeling is like that killing yourself is the only way to stop the unbearable pain. So I posted one of my poems on Facebook. Last night I spoke with my sister, who told me […]

I’m Sorry

by splitting 8/21/2014

written by splitting

I walked away so long ago
left my heart and soul buried somewhere in the snow.
Frozen forever, as cold as ice
what is left of me is not so nice.
Try to warm me up
I will swallow you whole
trying to fill this empty hole.
Heartless is what I am
so I have locked me away
I dont want to destroy you
like they destroyed me.
I want you to fly
and to be as free as a bird
to sing your beautiful song
soaring high above the earth.
I want you to laugh and smile
to feel the warmth of the sun

The Rope

by KissOfDeath 8/21/2014

written by KissOfDeath

I don’t understand what you’re expecting of me,

your needs a bottomless pit.

Just because you don’t understand these feelings,

doesn’t make me a misfit.

I don’t wish you to understand,

this mind, it’s my own personal hell.

I’m scribbling down my note written in my own twisted fate,

hoping no one remembers to tell.

The rope, hung ever so delicately,

my last and final hope.

The knocking on my door loudens,

as my body begins to mope.

Moving Stillness

by darkartist93 8/21/2014

written by darkartist93

You stood there, stood there and start to slowly back away,

You said that those close to you didn’t think that speaking to me was healthy, that it had thrown your thoughts into disarray.

It’s not worth the trouble or the heartache they told you,

And somehow you decided that it was true.

“There is no reason to stay as she’ll never see things clearly.”

With this you pacified yourself, never seeing that it might cost you dearly.

I stood there, stood there forgotten and alone.

You had said that my stubbornness was something that you could no longer condone,

But stubbornness had never been the problem.

In order to reach you, I had […]

Falling from the Nest

by hopeisontheway 8/20/2014

written by hopeisontheway

Do you every feel like a baby bird?

A baby bird is helpless when it first hatches.

They do not know how to fly, and they do not know how to survive without their mothers.

There’s always that one baby bird that gets everything right.

It doesn’t plummet to its death when it tries to fly; it soars, and it is able to go on with its life independently.

And then there’s you.

You’re the one that can’t get up.

You’re the one that gets left behind when the rest of your siblings go out for something useful.

You’re the one left to freeze to death as the rest fly to hibernation.

You can’t […]

I can feel it coming on

by Engie 8/20/2014

written by Engie

Zopiclone is squirting into my brain. If they find a way to make the taste you find in your mouth at this point less horrible, it would be much appreciated.
My mind is starting to melt like candles, bright glittering, forming pools of liquid, yet a solid.
I was told these can make some people hallucinate if you try to resist the urge to sleep, but it didn’t work for me.
I didn’t mean to make this post so long, but typing the last few paragraphs has been incredibly hard and and glittering sparking birds fly through the sky, they feed off the weak. They […]

Questions

written by KissOfDeath

What in life makes it so hard for you to stay?

What is your magic potion?

What has made you stay this long?

What’s the thing you’ll miss the most?

Who do you think will miss you the most?
