Breakdown

Simple line in a song
Or a movie or book
Reflects pain and sorrow
As backwards I do look

Analyzing the traumas
My life list is quite long
The fears and frustration
Voiced so well in a song

Faced with mental breakdown
And total lack of support
My options are sparse
I need the strength to thwart

The thoughts of suicide and
Fears of going insane
Only me to count on
Entomb feelings yet again

Much discord in my mind
Inner voices in a feud
Small child against the world
Dissociation then ensued

Where is the help I need?
Why does no one care?
I try to reveal secrets
All I hear is; DANGER! BEWARE!

The years and decades pass and
I'm on the brink once more
But this time will be the last
My soul's too tired and too sore

Will anybody notice it,
The moment of my demise?
The will succumbs, hope fades,
Brain shuts down, the spirit dies

Heart just goes on beating
Body set on remote control
Oblivious to time or hunger
Clinical depression claims the soul

As the world commemorates
Christmas and New Year's Day
Feeling left out and abandoned
Semi-comatose, in bed I lay

My plight, it goes unnoticed
Some part's unwilling to die
Routine scenario unfolds
Only count on me, myself and I

Once more I pray to Heaven
And release a silent moan
Oh God, please come and rescue me
For I can't heal myself alone!

Thanks Rusty, for your support. It means so much to me.
Yes, it IS therapy! And, I hope, an inspiration to others. I just wish I could have had some support in my youth. It would have made all the difference.

Love and Hugs
Pam
