The End

Is this how it ends?
Sitting here
My legs dangling free

The cliff edge crumbling
Under my hands
Below, the raging sea

Is this how I die?
Just me and the sky
The wind calling my name

Jump is all I
Need to do to
Remove my guilt and blame

I don't want to die
But I don't want to live
The burden's a blackening cloud

I want anybody
To jolt me free
To shout my name so loud

Please forgive me
I don't want to leave
But to stay would break my heart

A last goodbye
Together no more
We're better off apart.

I'm fed up. With not. Knowing. What to do. I'm fucked. One way. Or another. I'm bored. With this life. With feeling. Torn up. Inside. Can't stay. Can't go. Don't know. How to choose. How to break.

Stressed Out

Anger digging up my mind, And screaming to myself, Fury takes up most of my time, And it questioning my health, Stress is buried deep within, On the verge of running away, But it seems I cannot...

Lives Fool

I'll close my eyes and wish I was gone. Not gone forever, that would be wrong. Just for a week, to have a short break. Much more of this living I cannot take.

Leave

You have meds and drugs at hand,. With every label in the land,. You come with casts and 999,. But, surely, you know it's my time,. You come with ice packs, pills and sprays,.

My Fear

This is me shutting down, my heart is in pieces and my mind is full of torment. The pain just doesn't stop. Its like my whole world was suddenly tore out from beneath me.

Anxiety

I hate the way I often sigh. And how easy things can make me cry. Like popping up to say ''oh hi!'' Then five minutes later you'll say goodbye. I hate how things will get to me.

A sad and angst ridden write....brilliantly written!

"to stay would break my heart" really felt that 💔

@misslittleDHP thank you

@naaviie when someone 'gets' your words it feels amazing. Sorry to be so depressing on a Sunday evening.

Hahaha sooo funny

No worries hun, powerful stuff

@OdinsFist funny? I think you may have misinterpreted the poem...

It was a joke sorry

I think somedays, the pen flows easier with woe😓 Don't apologise for this-it's wonderful in a truly heartbreaking way. I remember reading about the guy who lived in view of cliffs (in Dover I think?) & who used to see the endless lost souls making their way to the edge. He saved countless lives, just by offering a cup of tea & an open ear. That must be quite a feeling, although he was very humble about it all. In fact, I may just write about that 😌

@Fly10 yes doooooo...what an inspirational chap 💜💜

Beautiful and so sad 😔

@OdinsFist Maybe think about the writers frame of mind before you make a comment like that? I'm fine, but I could just as easily not have been. Anyway, thanks for apologising.

@Fly10 please tag me when you do. I remember reading about that same man, I guess in a way it was a privilege for him.

@Irrational_Kimmi thank you

@Nom sad stuff. But a good write 👍😢

@leelee101 thank you

@Fly10 whoa I want to read about that! How incredible!

@naaviie @Nom Will perhaps give it a bash tomorrow😌

@Fly10 look forward to it!

@Fly10 ditto!'

@naaviie we are prospective! :) @Fly10

Thank you @Jamtots for the repost
