A Self Fulfilling Prophecy

TrystanBehm

I’ve read about the calmness 

That overcomes you 

Physically

Mentally

Spiritually 

 

When drowning has finally won 

 

This serene Shakespearean narrative 

Told by those few

Brought back 

From the brink 

 

I refuse to believe this tale 

Convinced I’d be in pure hell

Agony

Anger

Fight

Belief 

 

That I could still win 

 

I refuse to believe that by giving up 

The pain goes away

I will fight with every cell I have 

Until it all goes black

 

 - my eyes won’t shut forever due to a lack of will and fight

    Ive researched people who have survived suicide attempts and how they describe it from their perspective. This one guy who survived after jumping from the san francisco bay bridge said he immediatly regretted it. Still tho i wonder how it feels when you do finally let go..

    Tryst,

    Spot on my friend!
    There is NO
    “lack of will and fight”
    within you!

    I Love this inspirational write!
    It radiates with positivity!

      Thanks Laura - I still have a lot of fight left within me - because of good friends, family and trust in many people looking down above me. We all need support to find our own fight!

      • Laura🌻

        Yes, indeed!
        You are young, strong and blessed to trust in the “many people looking down above” you...and your family and friends you trust! My faith is in you and your commitment to rise above it all!
        All the best to you, my friend! 🤗

        yes you have to fight, don't let the demons win, they will try their hardest.

        You must always fight the negatives in life and go forward with the positives.

        If it wasn't such a serious theme, I might say 'Oohh, it's a nuisance; it's holding up the traffic on the bridge; can't ya come back tomorrow when there's less traffic?' (Bit of dark humour there!)

        "Do not go gentle into that dark night,
        Rage, RAGE against the dying of the light"
        By Dylan Thomas

        Evocative writing.
