I don't want to give up.

by Willow   Jul 28, 2006


Maybe I should kill myself,
That's what my parents and friends expect me to do.
I should cover my arms and legs in slashes,
The write a note saying this is because of you.

I should disappear from this world,
Because apparently I regularly "go off the rails".
A lot of people think I should be on medication,
Because of all my fails.

I'm slowly getting better,
But then someone says I still want to kill myself.
I've told this person I never want to do that,
But now this comment has made me think again about killing myself.

I went through a thing where my mind told me I should die,
But now I'm over it.
That one comment brings those feelings back,
But I will continue to fight and I have one friend who'll give her bit.

When I cut myself this afternoon,
I sliced deeper than I usually do.
The blood actual ran down my arm,
And you know, it's because of that one comment from you.

You've hurt me so much,
And now horrible feelings have come back.
I don't want them to get me again,
But it appears someone has opened up the sadness sack.

I don't want to give up,
I don't want these feelings to kill me this time.
I want the hurt to leave me alone,
And I want these tears to stop there continues falling rhyme.

    [I think you should change one of the 'becauses' ..It felt abit off with having both there. You also used alot of I, I, I, I ..Try not avoid doing that. =)]

    [actually, not actual]

    Thought the ending was strong, and sad. An emotional write. Keep it up, and smile.
