Pull me up?

Folder: 
hurt

The water slides over my head covering my nose and silencing my screams once again
I scream for help but water fills my lungs refusing to let me rise back to the surface back to my home with the people who love me
I look around and see people breathing, why why can't I breath I can't reach the surface someone save me pull me out of this sea of depression 
People float by I see there faces and hear them asking if Im okay, I try to answer to ask for help but as soon as my mouth opens I fill the water slide down my throat scorching my vocal cordes I try to grab them but pass right through them
I don't understand what's keeping me here I was once like them I used to breath and walk with them on the surface but here I am underwater drowning someone help me please
I taste blood and see red this can only mean one thing I look down and see it the long line running up my arm soaked in blood I sob trying to remember when I did this I didn't feel it this time I look at my hand and see the razor and scream ignoring the burn of water entering my lungs 
"No I didnt do this it wasn't my fault don't take me!" trying to stop the blood flow I sink further down soon all I can do is scream and ask myself why? 
Was it really so bad that I don't rememer doing it now can I no longer feel the pain of the blade? I feel myself float towards the surface and smile with joy I'm going home I'm no longer drowning
I break the surface but keep floating, no it's not suposed to end this way I'm not ready I was finally floating don't take me for this I scream out trying to hold my ripped arms together "God give me back its not my time you bastard!"
People stop and stare at me smiling and waving me goodbye I scream at them for help "how can you be so stupid don't let me go please save me"
I blink and open my mouth to scream but feel the water rush into my already burning throat and sigh it was just a nightmare I'm still here I may be drowning but atleast I'm alive I pick up the razor blade and carve another tally in my skin "that's one more day" 
I look at the people walking by and cry softly "someone please pull me up"

Written so well. Memory is in

Written so well. Memory is in the eye of the rememberer. Self deception trumps being decepted when it really gets down to having to face what life throws at you. This really brings that out. Leaves justice as something much more personal than others judging others. It's really self judging self.

...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
