This is probably going to be long and personal. If you don't want that, you can stop reading now, I won't judge you.I'm a listener. I feel a certain responsibility upon the people I know. I feel so much responsibility, that I sometimes forget myself. I don't do that on purpose, I just care so much about everyone, that I can't let them feel bad. I love listening if people need to talk to someone, and I usually do my very best to help them. I look at things this way: if I can help just one person in need, I get better. I try to tell people that I'll gladly help them, but I don't think they ever plan on asking for my help. I want to make sure that all my friends are doing okay, so I ask them to tell me when they need someone to listen, because I know how it feels to have no one to talk to. It tends to get me to the head, and I seem clingy, which is horrible, because I just want to help.
I lost one friend by letting her down, and I don't want to lose another, so I do my best to ask if there's anything I can do, when they're upset. I write poetry when I'm upset, and this is what came out of losing my friend:
She is alone once again
Alone, only the bottles keep her company
One is emptied, another is opened
One is broken, another is taken from the box
One is broken, as goes for her skin
Her skin, her mind, her hopes
Everything is broken
A bottle broken, a piece of broken bottle
It feels like it helps
As she tears her skin open once again
Little does she know that someone is watching
Someone, who wants to help
Someone who keeps asking her
They want to know what is wrong
But she tells nothing
She keeps quiet
No one knows that she is in pain
Because she cannot tell
She does not want people to know
They interfere
She wants to make an end to it
The bottles, the pain, the misery
Misery loves company
Company loves more
She loves the relief
The scars provide
The glass is open
Once again
She opens a bottle to follow
Little does she know
It has become a problem
A seemingly unsolvable problem
At age eighteen
Is it normal
Will it ever be?
Having these problems are not normal
Not at that age
The pills to kill the pain
The pills to kill the misery
The pills that will eventually kill her
She stopped caring a long time ago
One goes down
Two go down
Three go down
Three should do it
She ends her life
Little does she know
She took one more life
Little does she know, she took mine too
If you've read this, please let me know! If so, thank you!
