Don't want to live, too afraid to die

by Lost and Confused   Nov 13, 2007


I put the gun to my head
but I'm afraid to pull the trigger.
I put the knife to my wrist
but I'm afraid to drag it across.
I put the pills in my mouth
but I'm afraid to swallow.
I put the car in first gear
but I'm afraid to drive over the edge.
I'm already dead on the inside
but I'm afraid to die on the outside.

    This is simply written about the truth of dying. It's the fear of the unknown. I love this. It's very beautiful. It's dark but it shows a scaredness that has to come from the inside to accomplish the pain. I love it. I'm sorry to hear about your friend and i hope that you are well. Thank you for the comment on mine
