Going Under

Posted by saw on September 15, 2004, at 5:36:20

Now I will tell you what I’ve done for you
50 thousand tears I’ve cried
Screaming deceiving and bleeding for you
And you still won’t hear me
Don’t want your hand this time I’ll save myself
Maybe I’ll wake up for once
Not tormented daily defeated by you
Just when I thought I’d reached the bottom
I’m dying again

I’m going under
Drowning in you
I’m falling forever
I’ve got to break through
I’m going under

Blurring and stirring the truth and the lies
So I don’t know what’s real and what’s not
Always confusing the thoughts in my head
So I can’t trust myself anymore
I’m dying again

So go on and scream
Scream at me I’m so far away
I won’t be broken again
I’ve got to breath
I can’t keep going under

Sabrina, I read a great deal of strength and self preservation in these words. You'll be OK. You are stronger than you think.

I can identify with this piece so much right now. Different lyrics from my poem "Bracelets of Torn Thought," but the same old exhausting melody. I'm tired of picking up the pieces, you're tired of being pulled under. I think, "How much more of this can I take?" I hit the wall this past spring when I attempted suicide. You have my support and my understanding of how difficult it is to fight an internal enemy that is so relentless, so remorseless, and is, at the moment, seemingly impervious to my meds. Keep struggling to the surface. I've come to value each additional gulp of air as a gift, no matter how difficult the times in between those breaths may seem. Atticus

Tired of being pulled under, you think? Well, you actually pulled my brain through the computer! I have always loved how writing expresses itself and how it can say so much about a person and their feelings.

As for picking up the pieces, I shudder to think! I've picked up so many and then thrown those back down, ensuring that they shatter into a zillion more pieces than before. I even make sure I scatter them far and wide, and grind my heel into them for good measure. Then I whinge about being pulled under because there are so many pieces to pick up.

I'm having fun now.

Take care
Sabrina
