Wandering through the halls of time
I thought I had lost my mind
Feeling crazy
Everything was so hazy
I was lost and confused
No way through the maze
That was my mind
Freightened and alone
Feeling like I had no home
Not even sure I could call me my own
Scary thoughts creeping into my mind
Telling myself this is it
The end
Time has come
Gotta get out
No one hearing my pathetic shouts
Couldn't even look at my self in mirror
So afraid of what I would see
Lookin back at me
Tears never endin
Self loathing I been creatin
Hands shakin
Head throbbin
Just can't seem to shake it
I'll never make it
Pickin myself up off the floor
Crawlin towards the door
All I gotta do is make it through
Then I'll be ok once more
Pickin up the phone
Prayin you're at home
Cryin out your name
Beggin for help
I just can't do it alone
Tellin you I need help
So tired of the real me bein hiddin up on a shelf
This duality is killin me
You take me by the hand
Tellin me its gonna be all right
That someday I'm gonna live in the light
Helpin me pick the pieces of me off the floor
Walkin me through the door
I'm gonna be ok once more

Whoa girl, makes us wonder if we will
be able at times to pick up those pieces
but somehow we seem to and move on.

Chubbycherpoet, i like ur poem. It really expresses true feelings out
there. I cannot truly understand some pains of those i care about but i
try to relate and i really care about some people, and just as much as
it hurts them when they go thru stuff, it makes me hurt too, because i
feel for them, too because i care...

Thank you everyone...yes I've picked up the pieces, asmost of you know
and can tell.For those who need to pick up the pieces, call someone for
help we cannot do it alone, a friend or family member is always a phone
call away, if you need professional help , call ...again I cannot say it
enough, we cannot do it alone..
