Please

Your voice is so broken.

Did I cause that?

Did I make a mistake?

Did I leave too soon?

My feelings are in disarray.

Thoughts flooding my every cell.

Am I my own prisoner?

Was it all because of me?

The daughter you once loved is no more.

A shell of a little girl.

My senses are weak,

what am I to do?

Is forgiveness really the answer?

Do I forgive you for not seeing the pain?

Or, do I blame myself for hiding it so well?

I don't know the answer.

However, I'm sorry.

For not being the perfect daughter.

For not talking to you.

For leaving forever.

Oh please God,

Help me forget.

Help me forget the pain.

Help them forget as well.

I am so lost,

Lost to the void that is my mind.

I want to find my path,

But is it out of reach?

I am so sorry.

I am not perfect,

I am flawed.

An empty carcass of a would be person.

Should I run away from it all?

How do I make you forget about me?
Please,

I want to disappear from this world.

Please,

Save me from the pain,

From the tears,

And from myself.

[Poetic Beauty]

Sounds like a strong dose of depression and a mixing in of anxiety to boot. This poem speak volumes to what it’s like struggling with those conditions. People are very good at hiding emotions like this because they fear what others will think or how they will react. Hopefully it can be voiced and talked about.
