This pain is hidden

[QueenofDarkness]

They said I wouldn't live
To see another year
I fear for my life
The pain is hidden
So deep inside
The one's I hold closest
They don't even know
Exactly how I feel
I don't know what I should do
I wonder if the world
would be better off
I wonder if my family and my so called friends
Would be better off
Without me here
I ponder the questions
Why me, why now
I don't know
My family wouldn't have to worry
If today will be the last day
To see me
I'm tired of fighting
Help me please
Maybe everyone would be better off
If I just ended it now.

First of all, I sense some major personal emotion flowing rapidly out of this piece and if so, I must say. Not a single person in this world would be better off without you. This world we call home is going to hell in a hand-basket more and more each day. Trust me babe, it needs all of the good people it can get and you I can tell are one of them. You have a great emotion and a great personality that I just so happen to find peaceful and intriguing. I hope you are not truly concidering this...but, that discussion is for another place...this poem was very well written. I could feel you true heart pouring out before my like a torential rain. Things aren't always what they seem...the dark clouds always have a brighter side somewhere. Even I cannot except that sometimes, it's not in my nature but, there is a brighter side to the darkest days, you just have to find it...and maybe I am yours........................................................

OOF! First and foremost, I've been there, and I know what it is to feel like that. You expressed yourself in such a raw way, I admire your blunt honesty in this piece.

TJ's reply was awesomeness, too - but we come to expect that from old mate TJ, eh?
