Sitting In The Dark Poem by Jake Gassiot

Sitting In The Dark

Rating: 3.1


I am sitting here in the dark
I am thinking of all the pain
Forgetting all the happiness
I keep thinking that if I do it
Then I wont have to worry anymore
But then I think of why I haven’t done it
My mind searching for the answer
I find it
I haven’t done it because of people
I want to do it because of them
But they are what is keeping me alive
I feel it eating away more and more
Every time I sit here
I feel as if I can’t get out
Of this black hole of pain
I feel the cuts getting deeper
I am sitting here in the dark
Should I pull the trigger

Depression is such an overwhelming emotional state.......I hope you find strength through your writing Jake. I think you'll find many of us that use writing for exactly the same reasons. I will agree with the other ladies (of course) I think you know suicide is never the right answer though (after reading your bio) Take care. Sincerely, Mary

I agree with that Melanie chick. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. You better not ever attempt it. Or I'll kill you! figuratively speaking.
