    It is so very scary knowing you feel like this and know you are on that ledge. The fact you are aware of this is a good thing. Keep reaching out, the darkness will pass.

    Such a depressing yet well written poem.
    With a dark meaning.
    Beautifuly done.
    But if you or anyone is feeling suicidal you don't have to fight alone. I'm sure many of us can relate and I sure can.
    Reaching out is one of the hardest things to do.
    But once you do you realise how good it is to actually recieve help.
    Take care.

    HELP
    Easiest word to say, the toughest thing to admit you need, even harder to ask for.
    We are all here, this connected on so many levels and yes, very well written and portrayed.

    Very well written.
    Ongoing bouts of depression are a common affliction among artists.
    I for one can only write poetically when deeply troubled.
    When we share, we can lessen our pain and help others to relate.

    I do hope things change for you and that dread and any other burdens are lifted from you. I've found it hard to explain before what you just wrote, the desire to not exist... sometimes people think they help by saying "be grateful" and "smile at what you have" but depression and any other hardship don't need a reason. We could have all the reasons in the world to live a fulfilling life, but mental illness does not see logic nor does it care.

    Sometimes, all we can do is keep trying, even if others don't see or understand how hard that is.

    Sending lots of support. Take care.
