My Cry For Help

by Andrea   Oct 5, 2004


As I sit here trying not to cry
I hold my head to stop the images appearing
I hurt so much

Should I take the kitchen knife?
No, no I must not
Damn it...I gotta get it!

As I walk slowly to the kitchen
And open the drawer
I pull out a steak knife

Staring at it
I wonder if it would help
I know it should

I scream,
I dropped the knife
The pressure inside me rises

I keep feeling hotter
As my thoughts grow unbearable
I see what I don’t want to

I cannot breakaway
I fall to my knees
I am getting weak

I grab the knife and stare at it
I trace the sharpness
With my finger

What the hell am I doing?
I cannot do this again
Someone will see...

I can’t hold back my tears anymore
They fall down loudly
I hope no one hears them

God, please make the pain stop
He does not hear my plea
B/c the pain only worsens

Every memory I have
Passes through me
My wounds are reopened

I feel all the pain
Coming back to me
Except now in all situations

Am I going insane?
Can you relate to this?
Someone, anyone, help me!

    I can relate to this completely, because this whole poem is a walk through of one of my flashbacks from last year... :( it's gonna be okay::> we'll thats what people say when I tell them I'm not okay. They don't bother to dig deep in me, they just say," it's gonna be okay". I don't know you, and I don't know how you take comments.. but if anything, you can leave me a message, email or something.. because I go through this, and it wouldn't hurt to talk about it, it helps. and I hate to hear that things are going to be okay, when you never know.
