Why I'm doing this (written poetry)

[SuicidalSymphonies]

I'm killing myself
Not because it's beautiful or romantic
I'm killing myself because see,
I have a bed
But I dread to sleep in it because it's too final

I was young when I wanted to die
7 years old and I only knew how to cope by crying
I had friends
Keyword had
They abandoned me when they learned I was sick in the head and their mom's kept them away "that little girl wants to be dead"

I grew up isolated
Abused and badly berated
I was scared of things that most kids saw fun
I thought it was a reason to run

Mental and physical illness took away the very last hope that my young mind could muster
Then when I was diagnosed, all of the ideals turned into an evil cluster

I'm killing myself
Because the weight of the world is too heavy for my weak arms
Not showing any signs as to set off alarms
I'm killing myself

amazing, heartfelt, filled with emotion. if writing helps you escape and let out you're emotions, i hope you continue in doing so through writing.

hope you share more of you're poetry, and contribute it to the writing thread along with others.

That was absolutely amazing! Writing can be an amazing coping mechanism (I write a lot to cope as well), and you do it so well!
