Losing Your Soul

Folder: 
Feelings Inside...

I feel like I'm climbing

On a rope with no end

When I feel I'm ahead

I just fall again.

I try and I try

Til I feel I could die

I try and I try

Til I break down and cry

Sometimes I ask

Should I end it myself?

And it's way too hard

To call out for help

My life is a story

Filled with sorrow and pain

It's a song of bad judgement

Which will drive you insane

The tears that you shed

Resemble blood that you've bled

To hear my words

You wwill wish you had meds

It feels like hell

When you're out of control

It's a disasterous state

When you're losing your soul

This was written a while back when I still had yet to figure out who I was. Now I know, and I'll be okay :)

I think a lot of people can identify themselves in this poem. And it's difficult to climb all the way to the top, there's probably more people out there than we know of, who has considered to "end it" themselves.
I also think that the journey to the self, is a life time long.

Anyways, I liked the poem. I really did.

Your piece has a sad, but a learned finality to it. It lends a certain hope to the survival instinct you must have had when writing it. The piece of your soul that was lost was perhaps cancerous to the healthy pieces that create work such as this. Keep writing. I enjoyed it.
