lost in the darkness

lost in the darkness

A Poem by HeatherWoodard
"

in my mind i see my body hanging limp from the tree

"
I'm breathing through corrupted lungs
And the words are ringing in my head
from the day you broke my chest
I can't forget it
though I've tried
I know you'll regret it
once I've died
I'm sorry if I lied
and told you I would stay alive
I'm sorry.
I should go now, quietly
for my bones have found a place to lie down and sleep
I sometimes wish I stayed inside my mother
Never to come out 
I'm sorry if I disappointed you, my friend
Please don't attend my funeral
I didn't intend
To be so brutal.

BEFORE YOU COMMENT PLEASE READ THIS..



.
I am now in recovery, and doing better.
I don't mean this to be a cry for attention.. Just wanted to say that a lot of people are struggling with depression, and there may be someone you know who currently is.

If there is anyone you know who seems like they need a friend, please talk to them.
It may save their life.

I for one think it brave to post the note. I must admit it is hard to review a piece knowing the source such as this, kinda hard to critique such emotion, much less such a challenging situation. None the less, I have always preferred the raw emotions and applaud you bravery it must take to open up about your past.
