Thoughts on dying

Thoughts on dying

A Poem by Charly-o
"

A kind of crap piece I have not edited since I wrote it

"
I can't stop feeling like I'm dying
and that f*****g scares me
like I have a terminal mind at full capacity
like I wake up every day and have to check my hands are solid
my body is solid 
that I am alive.
I know I am sick
but my opinion fluctuates on that
from yeah I'm f*****g sick to I'm an attention seeking b*****d 
don't you hate that
when your mind is what's killing you but you never seem to know how
when you can't see yourself living past 20 but you don't know why
when every night you want to curl up and cry 
because the only thing that makes you feel alive is touching death
standing by the tracks as the train rushes past the sound of inevitability drowning out the static that clouding you
that's pulling you back
that's drowning you out and killing you
and you think 
"if only I were allowed to scream"
or, you know, just give up.
I don't want to die but life is not for me 
now that doesn't make me suicidal does it?
That just makes me sick.
And some days I have to remind myself that not everyone is sick
but everyone is dying
and I wasn't lying 
when I told you the process was just a bit too slow for me
but you laughed
couldn't take me seriously
because I didn't tell you how I was dying.
But only because I never know how.
