Urges Driven By Depression

Lost in confusion no where to run,
My whole world is coming undone

Tears fall every night,
Because I lost, lost the fight

Tear after tear falls from my eyes,
As I look to the cloud filled skies

Looking for an answer, just a simple clue,
If Only I knew,

I just want to know, why I'm like this,
Sometimes I feel like I don't exist

Why am I lost, depressed all the time,
Why are suicidal thoughts always on my mind

Help me please! Before I help myself,
And take that blade off that shelf

Take out all my anger and pain on my arm,
Oh how my emotions could cause me harm

Too many emotions locked up inside,
The only way out for me is suicide

But when he holds me close and I feel his heart beat,
My thoughts of suicide deplete

That's the only time I feel safe, like nothing could go wrong,
I want to stay in his arms all day long

But that won't happen, sadly it's true,
And the blade I then run too

It's the only other thing that helps my pain,
It's an addiction, like sniffing cocaine

addiction or not, I'm never going to stop,
When sadness comes my way, blood must drop

    Soulfully crafted

    You are not alone dispite all the feelings that you have that tell you so. I wont say I feel your pain, but I have the same pain with a diffrent name. I have taken the leap many times and the fact of my existance is a puzzle to me. I thought that I simply had not gotten my full measur of suffering and had to hang around for more. Or maybe the thing I don't want to, more truthfully am afraid to look at is maybe I have something worthwhile to offer. I know that you do. I hope you share this one alot, maybe someone who can't say it will find it helpful
    Much Love
    ps-to heck with them all I'd rather die laughing than crying-

    I think you mean "addiction" in the second last stanza not "addition". In a spot or two it's obvious the wording is the way it is to make it rhyme rather than because it adds something to the poem but all in all it is a reasonable piece. Very literal in it's interpretation, and your missing a lot of punctuation but it shows your emotions. Keep writing.

    Told from a troubled heart

    Oh my this is indeed a truly desperate poem of anguish and deep pain, that I can feel with every word you wrote. I understand your pain, and you are not alone in feeling this way. Suicide and cutting are not the answer, neither is relying on somebody else to make you happy the answer either. You have to love yourself first and foremost.
