Sixteen Sentences

MelanieSkyes

Slowly sinking south of sanity

Sitting slumped, sick and stressed

Silently screaming, sobbing soulfully

Sadness sends a shiver 

I'm stuck 

Suicide sounds like safety 

Something someone so shredded should seek 

Shrouded in suffering

Suffocated and scared

Surrounded by solitude 

My soliloquy spoken strained

Sharp scars score soft skin 

Seeking something superior to self 

Somebody see

Please, somebody

Save me

    Chin up Melanie, I hope this poem isn't as real as sounds. There are always other options. Great write, take care - Syd

    Melanie this is stunning. It resonates with me as I suffer with Depression. This is a great write. You’re not on your own.

    "sobbing soulfully"--my heart goes out to you! "suicide sounds like safety" I know you are depressed but hopefully you will seek help if you don't feel safe. This is a great write, but like drewp said, you are not on your own!

    I also suffer from depression. I am now 69. full time depression came at 39. I started on Prozac when I was 40. I had therapy with a great psychiatrist since that time. Now I take effixor and Wellbutrin. Melonie, these meds and therapy saved my life. It has returned me to my old self, before I became depressed. People who commit suicide are people who have the disease depression and have failed to treat it, as you would any other disease. If you were diabetic, you'd take insulin. If you are depressed, you take anti-depressants, which we are lucky to now have available, and talk therapy Please consider my comments. After all I am trying to safe you...and I can if you go ahead to a psychiatrist and get appropriate meds.
