The ideas in your poem really resonated with me.
I have been hospitalized three times for suicide attempts.
I know that feeling that there is something evil inside you, that is destroying your life, thoughts, plans.
I've gotten to the point where I know attempting anything is not going to work.
I still think about it in my darkest moments.
It brings me relief to think about it.
So far I haven't attempted it again.
Please know that I am here.
Maybe writing poetry is a way to fight the evil.
