Do I really need help? I'm not so sure. I don't think all the doctors could ever find a cure. My mind races I don't feel safe What I really need is to get out of this place. I could go today but my children would know. Then what would happen? Where would they go? All of these thoughts are just battles in my head. Maybe it would be better if I just turned up dead.
Reason for writing:
I live with depression and suicidal thoughts every day of my life. I have had these thoughts since I was a small child. I have attempted suicide three times since I was fourteen.
When I am feeling overwhelmed, I sit down and write poems about my thoughts and feelings.
