Stop. Don't.

Stop. Don't.

A Poem by Rachel DeHart

Please No CSS

So, I am stuck all a sudden. Confused. Deer in the head

lights maybe...  Frozen with a million ways I could run

and none of the routes look right. Or are what I am looking

for.  I need something. Someone. I need a hug. To feel

wrapped in love. For someone to tell me that, yes I will

be missed. And yes you would worry for my safety. Cause I

am tempted. The open road is calling, a little. Amtrak trains

are screaming my name, saying how quickly I could get away

from where ever the f**k I don’t want to be. How easy it would

be to slip away. Everyone else is doing it. Why would

one more nameless face gone from here make much difference?

I’ll divvy up all my junk and leave no one with anything to

worry about. More than I am doing here. I am pulling my

hair out at the roots, being a burden to all of you folks.

Everything here is getting to messy. I am not loveable. I say

I can’t be, because I break everything I touch. I am on the verge

of insanity, and nothing is stopping it.  I just need to feel

something, anything. And all of the wrong answers are coming

to mind. Somebody... no. Wait. Never mind. Let me go. I’ll

make it or drown.

This poem really drew me in.

"I say I can't be, because I break everything I touch. I am on the verge
of insanity, and nothing is stopping it."

Those were my favorite lines.
But the whole thing was very well written.
So raw and desperate.
Beautifully painful,
But beautiful nonetheless.

your poem is very human and understandable. if you've ever had to go through this i am sorry, i know what this feeling feels like, not to as strong as an extent as you've described here, but i've felt it at least a little and its not fun!

Woh, this was intense. I could feel the sadness and the despairness in it. Yea, it's very hard when situations are like this. I could relate to everything here. Pretty much i go thru this. It just F*ing hurts. Great poem. Great words :)
