Why do you love me,
when I have so many imperfections?
Why do you stand at the edge of the cliff,
when I cry "I want to die!"
Why do you tell me you love me,
but then leave me?
Why do you tell me not to die,
but then hand me the gun?
Why do you?

We always want to know what everyone is thinking. People act so innocent and nice but when you turn your back they talk shit about you. Great write. Dont let them bring you down they are only trying to make themselves feel better.

When you post up that you cut yourself for everyone to see it looks like a cry for attention
-
-
NO its a realase of pent up emotion ALL poetry is if we don't realise it
It may just happen again
I don't want to make any enemys here its just my opinoun and I think you have no right to say that directally on a poem about deppresssion and suicide! -
Whatever
Maybe people post it to get some kind of sympathy from people, maybe they think they will understand....and obviously you've never been in a situation where you wanted to hurt yourself, so I wouldn't be talking down to people.
