Leaving silently

 

The few people who still interact with me treat me like shit
The more I try to be happy, the more depressed that I get

I'd ask the whole world, just this once, for a little help
But that would be acting as if someone cared about this little whelp

I've stopped 4 people from suicide, more from self-harm
Yet nobody is going to attempt to stop me, no sounding the alarm

The one who cares for everyone is the one who is remembered the least
at least it makes it easy to slip to deceased

I've been drowning for many years, but I've finally stopped screaming
Because an worry from outside doesn't happen even while dreaming

So this is it, goodbye, I won't close the door violently
I'll die how I live and feel, I'll be leaving silently
Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is just how I feel, I'm not planning on leaving quite yet...but I have to know, does anyone care?  I'm sorry, this is really selfish,  but contrary to popular belief, I have basic human needs, too...

A big slap across the face

A big slap across the face whack! 

Wake up! 

youre all you need! 

so dont go making lilttle things bbig my dear angel of mercy it's a lonely honerable  life 

trying to stay strong 

But, if you break there is always another angel there 

be the strong person you are and smile more  it helps,

i know the feeling of wasted bbeauty stop entertaining the idea 

self wallowing gets tiring then the mud tends to hold you down don't let it stick

wash it clean and walk lightly you are a worthy wonderful being! Hugss ;) 

 


Don't let any one shake your dream stars from your eyes, lest your soul Come away with them! -SS

Welcome to my life

It always seems that the more you try to care about everyone else, the more selfish everyone else gets...
Ironic, that...
If you need a friend, there are more than enough of us on postpoems to lend a hand, shoulder, or ear, so all you need to do is reach out for one of us.
Become a postpoemie and we'll all hold you up when the world gets too heavy.
From the postpoetic collaboration "The Rhythm in the Rhyme"


Music yearns to grasp the soul
Of every victim it consoles
To every lover in the throes
Of sharing life with those they hold
To ignore the world and live in bliss
If only for one blessed moment
To tell the world to know from this
You're not alone in agony
We poets share your tragedy
To effervesce the beating hearts
When all of life is torn apart


"Music is a universal language and needs not be translated. With it, soul speaks to soul" - Songsterr

Friends of Distinction

We write it all, high/low, big/low, great/low - all the spectrum of emotions - venting is good, ranting and peevishness is not strong imagery - I like strong sharp images:

 

I hate my shadow

follows me like a knife

above meat.

.

I sing of suicide

and wish a car would

do the deed late night

jumping a curb.

.

I dream of after living

I hum the tune

in a low subtle voice.

The pride of death

is the shape of my

shadow, the hope

of last breaths

and some peace.
