Description There once was a girl who hated the world because of the pain within.  On the outside she appeared just fine.  But her sanity was wearing thin.  Pain and hate and guilt were hidden deep inside her mind.  But it grew and increasingly she broke down from time to time.  No one knew of her burdens since she hid them very well.  No one would've ever guessed that soon she'd say her last farewell.  Her family expected too much from her and spoke in an indifferent and hypocritical way.  She felt worthless and useless and stupid and ashamed.  It was the same cycle every day.  Her friends provided little comfort for they were all rather opinionated.  Their disregard to her when she tried to speak out left her lonely and suffocated.  The only person that she believed she loved was manipulative and played games with her head.  His unpredictable schizophrenic nature often left her hanging by a thread.  It's ironic that she was forced to comfort him for the idea of her leaving him filled him with dread.  If he knew the impact of his later betrayal, he might not have been misled.  She was breaking apart and falling down.  From her heart the darkness spread.  Bitterness clouded her judgment.  Mentally she had already excessively bled.  In the end, she snapped.  As for the rest, I can't say.  That day it was raining, cold, and gray.  Her parents wept; her friends, they cried.  Her younger sister kept asking, "Why did she die?"  They didn't answer, couldn't reply.  They didn't know the truth and couldn't bear to lie.  They went on a search, a bit of a quest.  And what they found shocked even those who knew her best.  Now that she's gone, it was clear she was depressed.  Truth be told, she was simply upset.  But her pain ran much deeper than they ever believed.  A soul as fragile as an autumn leaf.  Ignorantly pretending that nothing was wrong, thinking she was only going through a phase.  Unaware that behind the mask she put on, she was trapped in a crowded never-ending maze.  This is the story of a selfish girl who shall remain unnamed.  There is no winner of this story.  Both sides are ultimately to blame.  The next time you're dealing with others, think before you act or speak.  You never know if the next person you accidently treat like crap will be driven over the edge.  A delicate imbalance.  Someone like me.

I want to tell you this, suicide is considered the Cowards way out, nobody deserves to be bullied to where they will suicide, I might be a stranger, but nobody should ever suicide because of bullying,when I was younger, a guy nearly strangled me, and he did it because he hates me, but remember, you shouldn't ever do suicide, life isn't replaceable,life doesn't last forever, so please don't leave the world because of bullying

This is EXACTLY how I feel. I have, like, four friends... And all of them constantly push me aside so I'm wondering if they ARE my friends or whether it's ME who's the problem and then I feel that it would be better for me to die and leave everyone on peace. I mean, I've been better recently, but it's still there... I wrote a poem on the same subject, take a look. Nowhere near as good as this one but I want to know how many people are in the same situation as me...

Very powerful words...I cannot describe how similar this is to someone I used to know. She's not dead, but she could have been with the crap she went through. I'm amazed she never tried anything like suicide because I suspected her of that for almost a year. Then another friend of ours has had god knows how many people in his life kill themselves. Makes me wonder if it'd have been any different if they had read something like this. Maybe that's why my friend was so strong, but I don't know. Anyway, I have a high respect for this. I appreciate what I have written.

I couldn't talk to anyone I know in reality if I had the chance. They would never listen. They drift from me and I think I should just leave. But I can't. It gets harder to wake up, and I wear that fake smile to school and pretend everything is ok. I can't do it....

Talk to your family. Even though it seems like they don't care, they know you better than anyone. You'll be surprised. Never, ever commit suicide. You can't know the good things in the future you will miss.

This, to my knowledge, is a fantastically accurate depiction of a suicidal mind x

ASadAndLonelyKid [2012-08-09 02:03:38 +0000 UTC]

after i told my driends to take the hint from all my suicide favs they figured out i'm contemplating suicide. so far one of them has been supportive after she figured it but the other...she hasn't been very nice and because of that i'm thinking i really should commit suicide. like AskPonySouthAfrica, my friends are drifting away and i've always been the third wheel and its damging me greatly. my best friend thinks i can just cheer up when its not easy at all.

this is off topic but im having difficulty posting my first thing, its a poem so if anyone can help me that would be great thanks

AskPonySouthAfrica [2012-08-08 11:45:20 +0000 UTC]

(( ..... you said you'd listen to people?
well.... I guess this kind of sums up me.
lately my friends have been drifting, I was always the
third wheel, the drifter. I never could sit with
one group for long. I did come back to others....
but. I guess Im just looking for the people who will
notice me when I speak. not be drowned out by
all their pain. (selfish. I know.......)

I've time and time again questioned my sanity.
I've always noticed that there was something not
quite right with how I would think and see or do
things.

I'm ashamed of myself for becoming so depressed,
when I have a family who loves me,
a roof to slep under, the ability to draw.....

I guess I never asked for help is because,
i thought my problems were too trivial, and a waste
of someone else's time. that's why I've constantly worn
a mask and given up on my friends seeing my pain.

I've done some really stupid things lately, and I wish I
could reverse the clock, stop myself from starting.
I can't stop. and even though one friend knows.
they act as if I'm perfectly fine.

I'm selfish, and couldn't do anything right besides draw.
if you read all this, thankyou so much.
even if you don't comment back right away,
it makes me feel better just getting this out there.

You aren't insane, it's depression. It's a legitimate illness, but I know the guilt makes it worse. Your friend probably has no idea what to do. That doesn't mean they don't love you. In my experience, telling people helps. My best friend went through some depression recently, she emailed me what she had been feeling, and wrote what would have been too hard to say aloud. We talked, and she says she feels better about it all.

It is very good, your piece. WOW! I have a strange fascination with this whole depression thing - it is a fix for me and is currently making me feel alive to study. I don't know why I got depression - and I just cruised through mine for 2 and a half years (being so oblivious helped). In 2010 I just stopped taking the meds, because I realised it wasn't doing anything anymore. The psychiatrist was just going to keep me on them FOREVER, I realised and my dad was going on about money. I'm not depressed anymore, but I'm not exactly happy either. But maybe I never was. I'm just so used to how I feel that it doesn't bother me that much. I live this way. Hope it's something you wanted to hear.

I'm glad you liked reading my poem!
Yes, I understand how depression might be very interesting... sometimes emotions that are hard to understand are just interesting like that.
I don't understand how I got depression either, since I don't think it runs in my family. I never took meds for it, but I'm glad to hear that you didn't have to be dependent on them. I think that feeling generally unhappy is pretty common, but it's probably better than being outright depressed. As long as you know how to deal, it should be fine, yeah? But anyway, thank you for taking the time to comment ^_^

Well, saying that the girl in my poem is selfish was more of an echo of how non-depressed people feel about it. It's not necessarily how I feel on the subject. I didn't mean to offend!

I hate being selfish, yet this is one of those things that I would be willing to do... except, I'm tied down here knowing that if I died, someone might follow and I would not be able to bear the thought that because I ended my life, someone would end their own.
