I've been running sence I was 9 Just looking for a place to hide I looked far and low for somewhere to go While lifes pain stayed close behind. I reached out to those who were close But no one grabed me in time and i just ran on by. I,m 20 now still running with no place to hide and the pain is not far behind slow and cold the pain moves in close And from behind the pain starts to rise. Seeping into my mind I start to cry The pain is now inside. Holding close promising never to let go. I must get rid of it. So I reach way down inside and pull out a 9 and decide to end it.
Reason for writing:
Sence i have been a little kid i have battled depression
and now that i'm older it's only gotten worse and the poem is about how my whole life i've been running scared trying to find some happiness. In a world that only brings hurt.
