Empty Pain

I am falling deeply and surely into depression....
and though i know this i am captive to its destruction.
it seems senseless to fight it, i barely have the strength to do so
my whole being breathes anger, pain hurt, frustration also.

No oxygen travels my lungs, just short impatient bursts of pain filled air ramming through
i cant bring myself to cry out because i know no one will hear or care or anything do
i have nothing left inside me, if i tried to cry my insides would be turned out
for all i have is airless, motionless, tear-less emptiness driving me to shout

Inside me i hear someone calling, a small child is hurting
the emptiness is stronger than me, than this child's suffering
the hollowness makes me weak, i have no desire to try to survive
this child is dying, and what is left of me is barely alive.

you struck the chord within

you struck the chord within my heart..hang in there sweetheart! i feel your pain! helping others will ease your pain;)..take small risks and open up your heart..yes it is hard being vulnerable when someone has walked over your trust, take small steps and it will get better! im learning to open up my dormant heart and im doing it with small steps..it sucks when the child within you has been torn away and misused but when you learn to live again the child within you will live again and like SS said you are a survivor! you may not realize it but you are a strong survivor, there is a reason why you were put on this earth and i know you will fulfill it my dear one step at a time. By the way you do have a beautiful way expressing your emotions..keep writing poetry, you are healing others! just remember no matter what you are worth something!! i hope you can start living life and finally breathe again! live in the moment and embrace the years you have left.
