                                    ****WHY**** Why do I keep fighting to survive
 A life that is not worth it
 Why do I torment myself with hope
 With the belief that things can change
 That things will,when I know better
 Why do I allow myself to be let down
                                    repeately
 Allow myself to hold onto hope
 When it's all pointless
 When things will never change
 Never go right
 Why do I allow myself to feel this way
 When I know how it will all eventually end
 How it will all be
 Why have
                                    faith,when it will only be destroyed
 Why have hope,when it's always broken
 Why dream when they are always shattered
 Why even try anymore when it's always this way
 And always shall be
 Why hope for a brighter day
 When I know
                                    it will never come
 (12-06-01)
 Look in the mirror and I cry Trying so hard to understand
 Why it is I even try
 To understand all of lives demands
 Why go on when there is no changing things
 Why let it matter anymore
 Pain and confusion is all life brings
 So
                                    what am I even trying for
 Time and time again I let myself down
 By allowing myself to believe
 That it will be
                                    different this time around
 Myself,I try to decieve
 But in the end it's always the same
 And I am forced to see
 That being worth anything is only a cruel game
 Cause that isn't really me
 Life plays cruel tricks on my mind
 Allowing
                                    me to believe it may not be so
 Yet in the end I always find
 It to be proven what I should always know
 I am only
                                    me,no one worth anything to anyone
 The doormat to be walked on time and time again
 Toying with my emotions for others
                                    is fun
 And the hurt and pain remains
 What's the use of going on anymore
 When things will always be this way
 I
                                    wish I could answer death's knock on my door
 And not wake to yet another day

 I
 Defeated The only word I can think of
 To describe how I feel inside
 Wishing I could run and hide
 Completely
                                    and utterly defeated
 Defeated by pain,hurt and anguish
 By life's many trials and downfalls
 Defeated by my loss
                                    of hope and faith
 Loss of will,of drive
 Defeated by all that has occured
 And even by what is yet to come
 Knowing
                                    that in the end
 No matter how hard I strive to change
 How hard I try to beleve
 In the end all I will feel,is defeat
 A feeling I am so familiar with
 Yet,so tired of feeling
 I try to live and learn
 But the feeling of defeat
                                    remains
 I try to learn from my mistakes
 Yet I still remain defeated by them
 Maybe it is only a state of mind
 Maybe
                                    one day it will change
 Until then the only word I can find
 Is defeated.

 DARKNESS  darkness all around me
 a void
 never to be filled
 never
                                    be completed
 darkness
 overtakes me
 consumes me
 rules me
 body and soul
 darkness
 Welcomes me
 calls
                                    to me
 enticing me
 excites me
 Embraces methe darkness
 it's all around
 everywhereI look
 everywhere I turn
 I see
 nothing
 but darkness
 
 KNIFE
 Look at the steel blade
 of the knife
 run my finger
 along the sharp edge
 Envision
 it plunging into
 the tender skin of my wrist
 envision all the blood
 dripping out slowly
 push it in deeper
 harder
 until the blood pours out
 and my life slowly
 painfully
 drains out of me
 and I answer Death's
                                    tempting call
 give in
 to the temptation
 quicker the blood
 flows out
 I stare down
 at the beautiful
                                    sight
 and watch as the last of it
 slowly drains out
 feel the last spark of life
 take a last deep breath
 until
                                    finally
 I am no more
 
 UNTITLED
 intense
 deep
 burning
 consuming
 body
 mind
 soul
 controlling
 every step
 every thought
 every emotion
 depression
 sinks in
 takes over
 no choice
 unhappy
 down
 frightened
 out of my mind

                              | Lost,scared,wondering why I am even alive 
                                    Everyday a struggle,a constant fight to stay alive
 An incredible intense pain washes over me
 As once again,I ask myself,why must I be
 So tired of living my life,of being here
 Scared,knowing that my day of release is near
 I welcome the day I die with open arms
 My safe haven,away from anymore harm
 Yet,I fear it just a little more than I care to admit
 So far,to it's freedom,I've not been able to commit
 Why this is I honestly do not know
 Always in my head,the voices urge me to go
 
 
 
 
 
 Cry a river of never ending tears
 Ache an endless ache
 Merely exist
 Until I can leave this world
 Merely go through the motions
 Not really living
 Merely existing
 Thoughts,visions of my death
 Fill my head,flood my thoughts
 Dreams of no longer existing
 Ceasing to be
 Are all I can see
 All I want,wish for,desire
 Constantly wondering
 Will that day ever come
 Will I ever escape my life
 Be freed of my existence
 Or will I be forced
 To carry on, Trapped here
 In a life I no longer wish to live
 
 As I struggle to fight the feelings within I wonder who I am and why I am here
 Don't know where I am going,where to
                                    begin
 Only that I am filled with fear
 Fear of facing yet another day
 Fear of being alone and hurt again
 Fear
                                    of never figuring out the right thing to say
 To try to make people understand
 I do not think like everyone I know
 I do not see life the same
 I try not to let my anger and pain show
 The way I feel I try not to name
 Just accept
                                    it as something that will not go away
 A part of the me I'm trying to find
 This hurt and confusion seems to be here
                                    to stay
 And I am slowly going out of my mind
 I continue down the path
 Trying to find out who it is I am
 Trying
                                    to cope with reality's hurtful wrath
 Struggling so hard each day to understand
 Maybe as I travel this journey of mine
 I will find what it is I seek
 I want to believe I will make it,I'll be fine
 But every day is unique
 I can
                                    not predict what is to come
 I can not say I will pass this test
 I can say my heart and mind are numb
 Weary and
                                    aching,wishing for rest
 Who Am I and where is it I am going
 Why must I be lost in my own misery
 Will I ever find
                                    the true me
 How much longer can I survive  not knowing
 (02-08-2002)
