A Question

by ibelievedhim   Aug 22, 2009


Laying awake, staring at the ceiling
Wondering why I have this feeling
A feeling of failure as I close my eyes
Slipping into a pretend world of lies

All I've wasted, all this pain
I put my thumb on my vein
Check my pulse, I'm still alive
Sometimes I wonder how I survive

The darkness slowly closing in
To remind me of my guilty sin
Shaking, I turn to the mirror and see
A beautiful girl that is only me

If I take a closer look, I can see inside
To the broken pieces I have to hide
Am I strong enough to make it through?
If I get scared, I'll snuggle with you

*this poem means a lot to me b/c i know i'm going to be ok with him :) <3333

    That very last line made me smile, Katie:)

    I read a lot in between the lines here, girlie....you know, every new day is a new chance to make a brand new start..there is no need to continue on a path you despise;)

    I will tell you something:

    I was a very heavy smoker for about twenty years and no one believed me when I said I would quit. I said I would do it on the first day of the new millenium and they all said"huh, that Ingrid chick, who smokes two packages ad day, she will neeeeeeever make it!" and guess what? It's 2009 now and I have not touched a fag since, lol. I sat on my hands for four whole months, sweetheart and I had a really bad cold turkey, because I had no outside help or medicines. I think that when you really want to do something, you can:) YOU CAN!

    *hugs*

    5/5 Ingrid
    ps: you write really well!
