Can't Escape It

Can't Escape It

A Poem by NotGoodEnough

The torment I encounter, 
The suffering I endure
The injuries I acquired, 
There is no cure

When I'm caught 
In a whirlpool of 
Inescapable agony,
I feel there is no love

This agony I feel 
Is too much. 
Oh, how I long
For a different touch. 

A touch that 
Doesn't wound
One, where I 
Don't feel doomed

I know this touch 
Doesn't exist
Nothing can cure me. 
Not even an exorcist.

This demon and me,
I admit,
Are a package deal and I
Can't escape it.

Very adequate. This brought me back to our freshman - junior year. And I have to say that those memories were atrocious to say in the least. Sometimes I still feel it inside myself, but I try not to embrace it as much as I used too. I like what you've done with it. The hopelessness isn't forever. Eventually you will find a way to cope with your problems. And soon, they won't exist to you anymore. Because your situation will have changed my friend. What hurts you now wont hurt you then. Take it from someone who knows. You know better then I about pain. But I'm just saying that I know for sure that it gets better. Remember my situation? Proof.

Hey everyone, sorry I've been gone for a while. I lost myself for a while, and I'm slowly putting the pieces back together. I'm in a happy relationship, and the guy I'm with is trying to make me a bet.. more..
