Letting Go
29 December, 2005
Author: Tammy
Tonight my tears cover my pillow
it's happening to me again.
My life starting to fade
I'm right back to where I've been.
These sleepless nights are
getting worse, no rest can I find.
Dear Lord if you can hear me
please give me some kind of sign.
Show me the way out of this darkness
for happiness looks so bleak.
My heart is shattering, and
my mind now growing weak.
Death looks so inviting
it's a way out for me.
I know I shouldn't think like that,
but this pain is killing me.
I have held on for so long
struggled through ups, and downs.
Fell so far into despair
my feet uprooted from the ground.
In my heart there is a sadness
a pain that eats me deep inside.
It has gotten out of control,
no longer can it hide.
In the midst of my being this
monster keeps me insane.
For it will not stop until
all my life is drained.
So if I sleep the sleep of
death it will vanish from my soul.
The only way to rid this demon
is for me to just let go.

I wrote this poem about a week ago, and I couldn't get a title I liked with it. I have already changed the title 3 times, and I still don't like this one, but it will have to do. |

Comments on this poem/writing:
| Tammy (66.38.5.61) -- Thursday, December 29 2005, 06:20 am I been writing about my depression alot here lately. Writing about it helps me to deal with it, it's my way of releasing my pain. "If anyone is feeling this way please seek help" go to a parent, friend, teacher or someone. Please know that there is help, it took years for me to go for help, but death is not a way out, living is a way out. I don't want anyone reading my poems, and thinking death is the answer, because death is not. Fighting to live is the answer! |
| Meridian (70.106.25.253) -- Thursday, December 29 2005, 06:23 pm Taaaamy! Hey there! Your poem explains itself. Depression. You've felt it. I've felt it. We've all felt it. It's not where you wanna be. It's a feeling that can lead to other things. Don't stop submitting! Good advice Tammy! |
| Tammy (66.38.6.57) -- Friday, December 30 2005, 02:26 am Thank you hon for your comments. And I truly agree with your words, depression can lead to other things, seeking help is the first step to healing. A long struggle, and tough fight, but worth it, to see another day. |
