A poem by Samatha Long of South Africa

You try to change me
To tear away my beliefs
I am who i am
Why does that bug you?
You're never happy with wat i do
I'm never good enough for you
I try to be the person u want me to be
You're finally happy with me
At what cost?
My face tired from the fake smile i wear
Tears yearn to pour from my deadened eyes
My soul ripped and worthless
The cuts are the only visible pain
But you'll never see, you're too blind too see
Blinded by your own happiness
I'm torn, what should i do?
Please you, and whither up inside?
Or be myself, and disappoint you?
Neither will bring joy or happiness to me
Only one choice left
There is no other way
This...
This is my suicide!

Well, Hello again....

It's been years since I wrote anything. I decided to stop writing because I didn't want to have to rethink the thoughts and go through all the emotion again. Lately my psychologist suggested that I should start writing again. So here I am. Short summary of what happened: I finished Secondary school, I'm glad I left and it's over. It was very hard for me there, even when I got diagnosed some teachers taught I could one day just get over my depression. Here I am, 21, in college, still suicidal, still need to take regular anti-depressants and mood stabilisers. However I think I'm the most "stable" condition I've ever been. I like college but I do struggle in coping, unfortunately more than others. Also I have problems looking for interest. My psychiatrist and psychologist both said it's best if I have hobbies. It's hard because I stared getting depressed slowly when I was 9 and slowly lost interest in many thing. I've only been fixated ab...

Feelings

Emotions, I sometimes wish i never had them so uncontrollable so destructible You're not here I try hard to let go You're burned in my memory I can never forget your smile your laugh the times spent together but all this I have kept to myself for I know you can never feel the same way about me For my feelings for you is not natural is not right in society is not accepted and for a fact that you are not like me a sinner by existence You can never feel the same way i do For you are normal and I am not I miss you so I feel so torn thinking about you I know we can never be I know it stupid to even dream I want to forget you but i can't I cherish the time we spent together even if i could never express myself and show you my real feelings because I didn't want to ruin the friendship we already have Your beautiful and strong I need you but I can never tell you Now that you're far away I feel more and more broken inside I wanna hold you and touch your face My heart screams...

Papa Roach - Lifeline

When I was a boy I didn't care about a thing It was me and this world and a broken dream I was blaming myself For all that was going wrong I was way out there On the wrong side of town And the ones that I loved I started pushing them out Then I realized That it was all my fault I've been looking for a lifeline For what seems like a lifetime I'm drowning in the pain Breaking down again Looking for a lifeline So I put out my hand And I asked for some help We tore down the walls I built around myself I was struck by the light And I fell to the ground I've been looking for a lifeline For what seems like a lifetime I'm drowning in the pain Breaking down again Looking for a lifeline Is there anybody out there? Can you pull me from this ocean of despair? I'm drowning in the pain Breaking down again Looking for a lifeline You know a heart of gold Wont take you all the way And in a world so cold Its hard to keep the faith I'm never gonna fade away! Yeah! I've bee...
