Hurting
I live life one second at a time. My mind keeps reminding me that I don't really want to be here. I am tired of suffering in silence but I refuse to bother anyone else with my issues and problems. I can hear them now, smirking or rolling their eyes at what I would have to say. They don't care, they don't know, they only want the check that comes after the session is over. I can't write anymore of what I feel cause I have said it all in paper. My body and mind are numb, I ache for peace and silence. I want the gushing sound of blood in my ears to stop, I want the kids to not have to see me this way, I want life to simply stop for me. I want my family to be happy, no one would really miss me or even remember me after a few days. I want to have to stop getting up and thinking about things that I really just don't give a damn about anymore. I want to stop wanting, I want to stop thinking, stop feeling, stop living and mostly just stop Hurting.

Poetry: Hurting
by Parin Waljee
I have been hurting all these year's
Feeling the pain and the loneliness,
Life has to go on I suppose but Im sure you don't
by Lauren Dymke
Felt tip fingers softly, softly
Why is it your insides bleed, loved one?
Ache and heart hiccup.
You were never meant to
This pain was but a sword,
unsheathed but lying on the floor,
until I picked it up
and embraced its blade
so tight, so tight.
To the Father
Where have you been, why did you go away?
I have a picture of you…I was tempted to throw it away.
For
by Missy Terry
I closed my eyes one night
With tears flowing down my face
They were warm to the touch
But the warmth was not comforting
