Pit Of Despair

A Leave of Absence

It’s been a long year.

Well, almost a year.

The last time I posted anything on here, I was in a semi-good place with my life and I was slowly getting stronger. The depression was lessening day by day and I was coming to realize that my life wasn’t really as bad as it could be.

I was on the road to recovery.

Since then, I feel like I’ve taken 5 steps forward and 10 steps back. That is why I am back here, to complain about the tiny little mishaps in my life, and some of the big ones. To let you- my beautiful online world of strangers […]

Slipping

I look back over my shoulder

All I see is a past not worth remembering

And in my heart I know that Iâ€™ll never escape

The fear of my body growing colder

I see myself in all my pain

Hunched over the bathtub drain with

My blood pouring like rain

Down my arm to the sewer with all those who felt the same

And today I fight to keep at bay

The thought that demand I slay

Myself and those around who dared spout the lie that they cared

And end this life I hate today

So simple the old ways

To give in to hate and relate to life in the most brutal of ways

To berate myself […]

Seventh Time Unlucky

Over the course of my short 26 years of life, I have attempted suicide on no less than 8 occasions.

From the age of 11, I was bullied at school, tormented and tortured by grown men who’d wait for me after school and not to mention the troubles I was working through at home and struggling to admit the fact that I am gay, even to myself.

All of this plus a few other reasons landed me in therapy.

From the age of 11 onwards I saw one psychotherapist after another and I’ve been on so many medications that it’s hard to be certain of the exact number. […]

Hurting Alone

by Big Tree 10/16/2012

written by Big Tree

People walk on by than offer you there hand

They pretend to have never seen you to avoid your pit of despair

They see what they set out to see but never what they find

They turn their back before they take a knee

All I get is an ear and a judgement, rather than an understanding

They enjoy there triumphs rather than help burden my pain

I look away before you see the pain behind my eyes

I cry rather than talk, as I walk alone so not to be rejected

Iâ€™d rather be lonely than to be held so that I wonâ€™t be hurt again

I would rather die than to face […]

My fault (feel free to skip)

by Im Fine 1/14/2012

written by Im Fine

This is the first thing I’ve written (if you can call it that) in over 6 months. I laughingly call it a poem. It doesn’t rhyme or anything. I’m sorry. I don’t even know why I’m posting it. I don’t normally share this kind of thing. I guess I’m just being sad and pathetic. Sorry.

I fall
into the pit of despair
it grabs my heart as it steals my soul
I’m lost
nowhere to go
no-one to help
and it’s my fault
no-one can know the pain I feel
no-one can know how empty I can be
the times when I look at the world […]
