Can't Help What I Do by Taylor James

cutting no longer takes away the pain
i took some pills but my efforts were in vain.
i try the best i can
but i cant help thinking of what a fool i am.

i dont know what to do anymore
i cant keep taking pills and falling towards the floor.

i want to live a prosperous life
filled with love and no more strife,
still i cant help taking these pills
and cutting my wrists
what can i do to get out of this twist.

help me please as i scream your name
i dont want to be in this vicious circle of pain!

wish i could help
Your writing is asking for help at least you know its not right to feel this way. Make people listen to your pleas.You express yourself so well we don't need to lose another writer with talent. make your self be heard ok.

throw away the pills, then throw away the knife--simple!---seek some help---"don't use it or you for sure will lose it"-----don't give up, excersize, eat good, get strong, get rid of stress, relax your mind and the pain will go away----good luck to u Taylor James----from-- been at the bottom looking up

Amazing,
I'm amazed at how your completely said everything I feel in this poem- about how I'm tired of constantly cutting and popping pills like candy until I'm sick. You've expressed the same emotions that I'm feeling. I applaud you and hope that we can both overcome these lost feelings I know we both secretly experience while no one's looking.
