Poetry: Hurting

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.

    With tears flowing down my face
    They were warm to the touch
    But the warmth was not comforting

    Hurt Lives

    Hurt lives
    inside the darkest places
    where lives are torn
    hearts are tattered
    like dirty worn jeans

    Losing

    I'm breathing hard

    my chest is heavy

    my face is bruised

    from all the blows I'm receiving

    I'm on my knees

    trying to
