a meaning where there is nothing

a meaning where there is nothing

A Poem by Meghan Renee
"

i am not okay and i do not know what to do

"

I am not an emotional person

I have withheld my ability to feel

Too scared to be vulnerable

So the night I broke down in his arms I knew


I was not going to be okay


I have cried almost every night since

Pleading to a God once again

Begging for some form of salvation

Put me out of my misery

This pain is too much for me to bare


He stayed silent


I have tried to get better

To not allow myself to drown

But sometimes the anchor sinks too deep

And I am pulled under again


I wish I knew how to describe it more vividly -- poetically

All I can say is it is not pretty

The number of times I have thought of how to kill myself

What it would feel like with a rope around my neck

Or the sudden shock of my body hitting the pavement


Is it sick of me to say I hope for something bad?


These bad thoughts and bad things

The need for something to happen

Perhaps it would bring meaning to my suffering


Or excuse it.
