Fighting For Tonight

Sitting on my bed
With my legs gently crossed
I hold the knife in my hand
While my life feels completely lost.

I run my fingers down
The flat part of the blade
Getting the worst of feelings
Of my days beginning to fade.

My hands start to tremble
And my heart begins to race
So badly wanting to end the pain
That I covered up in the first place.

I don't see how I thought
That I could just ignore the pain
When I knew very well
That one day it would not be the same.

I beg myself not to do this
And the tears build up in my eyes
I just want to rid my suffering
And forget all the lies.

I make a little scratch
With the blade on my wrist
Not too much pressure yet
But it is so hard to resist.

I wish I knew how to cope
With the anger, hurt, and sorrow
I just hope I can fight it off tonight
So I can live to see tomorrow.

    You do not have to take the burden of this pain alone... you can share it with others... do not block out your friends when they want to help you.....

    it may seem like your alone but their are other out their that feel the same pain...
