I am a murderer
I killed......
myself
not literaly
just little things
until
there was
nothing left
of me
except an
empty shell
almost as
worthless
as the life
I used to live
Author notes
Confessions - of a mass murderer -
I've done it over and over again -
yet I'm still live no matter how many times I kill myself

Thank You
In so many ways - we do this to ourselves - mostly not realizing it
as one with a 'challenge' , I often over-do then pay for it for a couple days .
Happiest of Holy Days to you as well. God has blessed you and I ask He do it 10 fold more for your big heart.

Thank You
pain I know so well, a stroke, arthritus,causing a need for new hips, losing the love of my life after 26 years together, death of my 3 best friends and the last of my brothers , and all that in a space of 18 months. Life is harder on me then I am. But I survive and hope, I'm not sure for what any more.
