I don't need any counsellors
school wise or professional
I don't need a therapist
or a psychologist
The only thing I've ever needed
is my true, loving family...
My boyfriend and my friends
they mean more to me than life
I've lived for my friends
on the verge of wanting to die
I've resisted cutting because
of seeing the tears in his brown eyes
I've stopped crying and felt loved
just from a hug from a friend
I've gotten out of depression just
from seeing a my friends smile
I've stopped cutting, vowed to myself
that I would give it up and haven't
since April of last year all because
of those tears and the worry I put
my boyfriend through each time
I smile more than I ever have
since I've stopped seeing my counsellor
my friends are my life blood, my bright light
my boyfriend is my soul and the reason I survive
All it takes to keep living
is to know that you are loved and needed
that people actually do care and want you
that you have changed someone's life for better
My real family hardly cares for me
My only family is my friends
My only love is the one I share myself with
and my life is based on these people
They are my heaven on earth
they are my strength and soul
they are every piece of my heart
that has been constantly glued together
Without these beautiful people in my life
without the love of my life that all keep
my heart and soul in the fragile pieces held
I would completely fall apart and I would die
I would have died a long time ago
without these blessings in my life

This is for everyone that even remotely means anything to me. Anyone who has touched me or made me smile in a gesture just for me. For those who care for me and those who love me. You are my therapy. Your love is what keeps me going.

I wanted you to read this because, not only was it directed at Robert and the friends closest to me (living wise), but it was also directed at those who have touched me in any way and you are one of those people.
I always appreciate your comments and those IM's...If only we had more time to talk...
Love

Sweetie this is so beautiful...You truly have embodied the meaning of what it means to love and be loved...What gets you through is the love of those around you and the support of those who care...Looking into the eyes of someone who loves you can pull you through your darkest hours...Knowing there are people who want you in their lives keeps your heart beating and a smile on your face...
You are such a warm and beautiful person who gives so much to those around her...You are so full of love and give of yourself so freely to those who appreciate and cherish that emotion...
We all have our vices hidden somewhere that we know we can turn to if we need them but hopefully the love of those around us will keep us all from falling beneath the surface of the water and drowning.
Love Tory Lin

I love you too sweetie! ♥

Thank you and good luck with judging.

I wouldn't exactly say giving up. I haven't fully recovered until I can get rid of my safe gaurd...Meaning I still have razor blades hidden in my room. They are a safe guard. As long as I know they are there, the urge won't be as strong. That's why I haven't promised anyone out loud that I would never cut again...What you can't have, you always wnat, get what I mean? Anyway, thank you for your lovely comment my dear.

beautiful poem- i agree completely.
-
Have I ever touched you? Oh, nevermind. I've touched you LOTS of times ... and not JUST in that way either.
Anyway, this is a wonderful poem. One definitely worthy of applause. Excellent poem and worthy of a gold if possible. Wish you best of luck in the contest.

Yay Rose.
By the way, for giving up cutting, I both applaud you and congratulate you. It's a hard thing to do. I know, on some level, personally, and I've watched loved ones go through it.
I'm glad you've found security in your loved ones, they are the most precious gifts we will have.

Thank you for your kind comment. I'm glad you were able to find the strength in your loved ones as well. Personally, I agree with you. Love should be enough in my own opinion, but for some people, the love isn't there, which is quite sad. May sweet dreams fill your mind at night as well.

This should be everyone's therapy because that's how I got through that nasty period in my life that lasted about three years. (No details. Still hurts alot to even think about.)
You've expressed yourself and your emotion beautifully, making those fuzzy bunnies in me come hopping out. I even almost cried because I feel the same sometimes, though some do say I need a psychiatrist because of the odd things I do. Niemf to them all. Those people in your life are the best medicine anyone could ever ask for.
I hope the sweetest of dreams always find you, dahling! ~D~
