Doctor, please help

by deeplydesturbed   Nov 21, 2016


Struggling to take a breath as walls crumble in
Deafening silence as the ground grows closer
Numbness as the mind shuts off
I am about to re live my past

Laying on the ground looking up
Darkness is all I see
Armed blade in hand ready to strike
I am about to feel again

The coldness as it touches my skin
Subconsciously running it along old scars
Ready to pierce, letting my troubles flow out
I start to tremble

Memories start to crowd me
Like a cinema in my mind as I close my eyes
All the hurt and pain I've inflicted on others
The distrust I know I will once again stir up
I drop the knife

With a shaking hand I pick up the phone
Speed dial two is all I press
His voice on the other end questions
I only answer with three little words
I need help

    This is a sad but inspirational write because you know you need help. As Michael said, three words is all it takes and admitting you need help is a really huge step.
    Take care, Em

    Hello,

    Three words is often all it takes. Asking for help is the hardest thing to ask for. Admitting there is an issue so that support can be allowed to walk you to happiness once more.

    Well done. An inspirational write.

      Thank you Mr Darcy.
      I agree, asking for help is the toughest thing I have done, but I am trying to gain the trust of those around me, and it was what I needed...

      I can not go back down that path again, and I will not..

      Thank you again for reading, and commenting :)
