Past Mistakes--New Life For Me

A two part acrostic poem I wrote on 7/11/11

Pain seemed to be numbing
Agony was my best friend
Suffering was constant, never-ending
Tired and alone is what I always was

Made worse by family and school stress
Insanity was my number one companion
Sanity was unknown to me
Taking my own life was always a thought
And no matter how selfish, I wanted relief
Keeping all my thoughts and feelings to myself
Everything seemed to be too much
So I turned to things like self-harm

-

Now things are getting better
Each day seems to be less of a struggle
Words and phrases have become easier to form

Love is something I see often
It comes from those around me
Friends are no longer on the outside
Ending my life is no longer a ruling thought

Feeling of sadness don't rule my life
Opening up to people is helping to heal me
Reality is not such a hell on Earth anymore

My pain and scars are fading
Everything is becoming different now

It's good to start fresh, if you know what I mean!
