I don’t know where I am,
Or where I was today,
Nothing here seems real,
Everything feels like clay.
I’m shrouded by the night,
Hiding from the day,
In the silence I can hear,
Voices calling me insane.
Calling out so loud to me,
So loud I can not hide,
Burdened with such pain,
Of tears flooding me inside.
They couldn’t give a dam,
If I’m here or if I’m not,
I doubt they’d hear my cries,
Above echoes of gunshot.
Why must I hide my smile?
Within my shaking palms,
When did I loose all my faith,
Resorting to self harm.
Please just let me seep,
Into my nice warm pool,
I no longer want this life,
So foul and so cruel.

So very intense and so painfully real for many. Thank you for having the strength to share.
