Can I keep it up?
Do I have the strength
To take on life?
I've been fighting
With the urge
to cut again.
The urge to just
give it all up.
I want to just
curl up in my bed.
I don't want to do anything
I don't want to talk
to anybody.
I don't want to
eat or sleep
the fact that I
just can't give up.
No one would be willing
to take care of me.
No one else could.
I have to
just deal with everything else
I have to deal with life
no matter how much it hurts
as best as I can
thats all there is to it.
I'm dying inside
with no way to fix it
no band aid is strong enough
no pill to help out.
Nobody but me can live my life.
I have to do it
even if I trip and fall.
All I can do is
crawl my way through.

I as well loved the band aid line - it definately caught my attention. I'm sorry you're feeling this way - if theres anything I can do - please let me know. Best of luck in the contest

This is a very raw and heartbreaking poem you've penned. I'm sorry that this is the situation you find yourself in. Just stay strong and keep pushing on.
As for the poetic sense of this, the stanza I pasted above is my favorite. Very nice wording there. And the rest of it flows really well. Thanks for entering. -
that is very good
so true
