Silence.

Silence.

A Poem by Laine Johnson
"

This is from a very dark point in my life. I am completely recovered from these feelings, but I feel the words written then best explain where I was at that point in my life. They're powerful.

"
no pain, no gain.
i have to. just one more time.
i'll never do it again, i promise myself.
just once more.
how i it that this doesn't satisfy me?
this is the lowest of all lows.
hurting the loves of my life isn't enough.
HURTING MYSELF ISN'T ENOUGH.
i'm not a psychopath, honest.
i am normal, i just hate myself most days.
hey, i am awake. most of the time that is pain enough.
sometimes i wonder,
would it be enought just to slip away into the
silence?
no need to cream, we're all deaf enough.
i am completely sane.
i just hate myself more than i used to.

sorry if it's choppy, it was relaying my thought process in the moment.
sorry if it's morbid. it' just how i honestly felt at that point. thank the Lord, those days are long & gone! [:

It's quite good.
I know I feel like that a lot of times.

Good poem, quit a few grammar issues and a little choppy but it's good.
