I don’t know what to do anymore

What does all this mean, anyway?
Anything can happen to change how I feel right now.
Nothing remains constant for more than five minutes.
That truly is the one thing I can believe in anymore

Too often I make grand plans for great things to happen
Only to have them dashed upon the rocks of harsh reality

Does anyone understand what I’m really trying to say here?
I doubt that anyone does, but it is a small matter.
Eventually all things will become clear, but not today, not right now.

The ideas in your poem really resonated with me.

I have been hospitalized three times for suicide attempts.

I know that feeling that there is something evil inside you, that is destroying your life, thoughts, plans.

I've gotten to the point where I know attempting anything is not going to work.

I still think about it in my darkest moments.

It brings me relief to think about it.

So far I haven't attempted it again.

Please know that I am here.

Maybe writing poetry is a way to fight the evil.

This is the end of the thread.
