The Pain of Living
I am so sad that my chest hurts.
Everyday brings so much pain.
I just cannot carry any more.
I am not sure I can go on.
For so long it has felt
Like it is me supporting the world
Now I am tired
Beaten down
Afraid
Weak
Heartbroken
I cannot keep up the charade
I cannot reach you
I cannot reach me
I cannot reach out
to ask for help
It hurts so much
I am sure no one cares
I do not want to be a bother
The world would not be quite so dark
If I were not in it
I am sure
I just cannot move
My heart hurts

Post a CommentYes, depression can cause physical distress. It can also cause chest pain known as "nutcracker esophagus" in the medical literature. Please do yourself a big favor and make an appointment to see a psychiatrist. (I had to be put on Prozac many years ago because I was experiencing the same feelings you are displaying in your written words.) Take care of yourself! Debby
your piece caught my eye. very poignant, very well written. and like linda says the world is better with you and your thoughts to share. thanks
Thanks for expressing yourself so freely.
Smoke pot. Youll feel better
Me too. Except I know I brought sunshine into the lives of others, so hurts to know it would take weeks or months before anyone would realize I was gone.
Quite sad, but beautifully written and expressed. By the way, the world is much better with your well-crafted verse!
