But, you're okay
Hey there. Yes you. You with your dark circles coming back, who likes keeping their sunglasses on to cover them up so no one asks you again and again why aren't you getting some sleep, and replying with a smile so you don't seem rude.
Tell me the truth.
How many nights have you spent fighting to stay away from an unknown grief, when all you've wanted was to go on a night ride and never come back. How many times have you tried to displace the thought of cutting into a deep stratum within you and letting this grief pour out onto the bathroom floor. But you sit, you sit on the floor and count the tiles around you. Because you can't see you loved ones walking in and finding you drowning in your muddled mess. When you don't want them to be responsible for cleaning you up.
Talk to me.
Tell me about all the times you find your heart beating so fast you feel it'll rip itself out of your ribcage. When you stop receiving calls, stop replying to texts. When you excuse yourself from the dining table to shut yourself in the bathroom and manage to wheeze some air out of your lungs and count the tiles till you can convince your heart to stay. Four hundred and sixty two white tiles on a good day, four hundred and eighty one on the tougher days when you start counting half-tiles as well. Four hundred and eighty one. After which your chest stops feeling like a Bastille. You switch to you usual jovial self, dry your tears, and walk out to ask your sister how her day at work went, and blame the time spent in the bathroom on your cellphone.
They all believe you, don't they?
Nobody ever finds out or understands what goes on inside that bedraggled head of yours... Not your mother, not your father, not your sister, not your lover you promise tomorrow to every night. Not the best friends (yes, plural) who live miles, cities, countries and continents away, or the biking group you hang out with some evenings. Tell me how you spend every night lounging in your self inflicted loneliness, counting tiles and praying your heart stays in your chest another day. But, there is something you should tell yourself often :
It isn't vital to be happy all the time. And..
It's okay to not be okay. And..
You. Are. Not. Fucking. Okay. And..
It. Is. Okay.
We can all see that sometimes. So you can stop putting up with the false visage time and again. The next time you feel like shutting yourself out, remember that you aren't alone in any of this, and every now and then so many of us feel what you feel. When you feel yourself drifting, you'll have me to keep you company. And hey, if you wanna go on one of your night rides again, I'll be up too. Call me even when you don't feel like going out.
We'll practise breathing together..?

Read MoreI just thought of you after a long time and here's the result.
Maybe, just maybe,
If you told me sooner, or maybe if I heard your cries earlier it wouldn't have ended this bad. That's all I can think. Now that you are gone I am restless in my skin. I can't forgive myself for being too late yet can't forgive you for giving up on us, everyone of us who loved you , cherished you, who still misses you with every piece of their souls. We miss you and love you.
I am sorry for being late. It gets harder every year.
I love you Eun, be happy wherever you are.
It's personal, but it goes out to all those who lost someone special. Lots of love��
#suicidepreventionYou would never understand the pain you left me with
When you decided to leave me, so cruelly, so brutally
Yet a fool I must be, foe or friend should I call myself
Cause I was late to even your death bed.

- _kawaiiyuki_ I forgave her a long time ago , forgave her the day I saw her for the last time . I am happy that she's free but I won't deny that I am broken.
- seulmi @_kaz_08_ @_kawaiiyuki_ I can't forgive him nor myself. It still hurts like it was yesterday.

Read MoreIt's almost like you're not really in your skin,
your body and you're floating between two realities. You hear and see everything
yet it doesn't feel like you're present.
People speak to you and touch your arm
you see it, you feel it
but at the same time you don't.
You're here and at the same time you're not.
Your eyes scan each passing face,
your nose inhales each scent for a sense of familiarity anything that'll hint at the possibility
that you're really here,
walking and bumping into people
as they cross the road from the opposite site. Everyone so loud and buzzing with life and you, you're hardly even secure on the ground,
it could be dizziness
or you could be lightheaded from dehydration
but it feels more than that.

Above self harm
I am above self harm,
But to me there not just scars,
They help to remind you of who you are. Just Dont use a razor blade as a lucky charm. You dont need to slit your wrists just to feel something more real
I am above self harm

Anxiety,
It takes over my entire body
Swarms in like bees surrounding there enemy
Consumed my entire being
Overwhelmed and unable to breathe
Why is my face tingling
I hate that my fucking face is tingling
No air
Can't breathe
What's wrong with me
What's wrong with me
I wish my anxiety would just disappear
So I can feel happy and clear
But instead I'm stuck here
Broken and frozen in fear
Wishing for the end to be near
What's wrong with me
How did I end up here

Slowly getting thiner and thiner
To the point where I can't even finish dinner
What have I done
Who have I become
Smoking the pain away
Nauseous anytime I eat even the smallest thing
Hate what I call my body
Mama whats wrong with me
How could you cause all my insecurities
Instead of being my Rock you were a bully
Instead on my ally you were my enemy
Causing me to hate the body I was born in
And question every dission I made
Oh mama look at the monster you made
Can't even finish one meal
All cause you pushed every insecurity you hade onto me and couldn't be the mom I needed you to be
No you couldn't be there for me not emotionally

You used to be someone I talked to everyday someone who new everything about my life
Now your a stranger who pretends to know everything whenever they need something
I was there through thick and thin no matter what you did put me down, lash out, make me feel like nothing
And I still had your back everyday now here I am in that same low place you where in but the only difference is your no where to be found
Being there for everybody but the person who had your back through everything

Save me from myself
Ive lost so much weight I can barley keep track less and less calories being consumed to the point were one meal a day is normal for me and no one questions me just congratulates me on the changes to my body saddens me to see that the very people who created me don't care enough to save me

I wonder what would happened if I met death tonight
Would she sit by my side and star gaze till the sun comes up and we have to drift away from a world that could never really make me happy
Or would whe wipe the tears from my face and embrace me in a hug and whisper it will all be okay as everything fades away

Fill your lungs with something so much thicker than water its climbing up your throat
It will create a fire so deep you won't detect it till its climbing up your whole body
Every vein, every muscle, every bone
Your pride won't heal you
It will take everything you love away from you
And leave you on your knees in so much agony
You won't even recognize your own body

I look around, I see black walls! I'm stuck in my brain! Waist deep in the mud while I'm trying to make it out the rain!! My soul is scarred with pain, I bet when people hear this they will say "Dang" my pain and your pain ain't the same! I look in the mirror I start to scream! I'm tired of this I'm tired I want out! Trying so hard but always having doubt! They say you should ask for help well I'm screaming.. but no one listens! Just wanting to hurt while I'm in rage! Sober thoughts are not for me!
Wanted me to go sober so I did, I'm thankful I don't have any kids! What I look like being a failure? Setting no example.. for example here is a sample. Ticking time bomb that's what I am..scars on my body and my hands! Destruction is what comes to mind when I'm working on my self like construction! I just wanna break everything and it ain't right! But this is what my brain deals with when it comes to Night...or Day..I still pray but I feel like the sins I've done won't ever let me be okay.. my brain is really torn apart like it was put through a shredder! This the only thing I can think of to make me feel better..I need help & and I pray one day I get it if not just please visit every now and then I'm 6ft below resting.
When I lost 4 family members in one month it turned me to a different person like a permanent numb...I can't keep a smile if I do I feel dumb. I'm sad I'm scared but in the end, no one will care.

I feel so lucky for making it alive
Because I never thought I would be able to take my own life
But one night
I was crying
I was in pain
I couldn't breathe
It felt like my heart was ripped out
And I looked at my side
I knew in my shelf there were enough pills
For me to take to kill myself
I really thought about it and I was one minute
Away from taking my life
It was the closest I could get to commiting suicide
But I didn't
I stand here, today
Alive
And I couldn't be more relieved and grateful
Because I know that I would have regret it
I would have taken my only hope in getting better
Because dead you're nothing anymore
And alive you still have the possibility to change
So I am happy to be living
I am happy to be standing here
I am happy to be able to share this poem with you
And anyone who feels at edge
Who dies inside their loneliness
Who feels at their lowest
Just wait a few moments
You have to realize that your judgement is clouded by your emotions
You are not thinking rationally but more or less impulsive
Beaches what you're feeling will eventually fade away, I promise
There will be better days waiting for you
So please just wait,
Wait at least 24 hours before taking matters into your own hands
This wait can be terrific
It feels like torture and it will hurt like hell
But it's worth it, I promise
And after you've made it, you will be so thankful and happy that you won again
Another inner battle that you've successfully carried out
And that you can be proud of winning
Because we may not recognise right now
But being alive is the greatist gift

- writerwithin Suicide is the solution for those who don't appreciate Life's worth. Wonderfully penned....love it.
- ylviia @childauthor_345 thank you so much ❤️
- ylviia @writerwithin I wouldn't say it's a solution for the ones who don't appreciate life. I would say that it's a act out of desperate and pain for those who just couldn't endure it. ️

I took a sip of the poison and you paused to watch me drink
Your heart smiled
You found relief
Your face devoid of emotion
And you wore a remorseless skin as you left me to succumb to my self inflicted goodbye

Education - The act or process of imparting or acquiring general knowledge, developing the powers of reasoning and judgment, and generally of preparing oneself or others intellectually for mature life.

Read MoreNot a poem. Just a bit of my thoughts.. :)
#thoughts #suicideprevention #inspiration #motivational #mirakeewriters #pod @writersnetwork @mirakee @readwriteunite~Hold on~
If you've lost hope,hold on.
If you've been crying from the inside,hold on.
If you're feeling useless,hold on.
If your world is falling apart in front of you,still hold on.
If your eyes are full of tears and broken dreams,dude still hold on!
If your heart is in pieces,HOLD ON! HOLD ON!! HOLD ON!!!
It's life. And it mostly stabs at every single point in various forms!
It's reality. And it mostly sucks. Still we gotta face it!
It's truth. And it mostly hurts. But still we gotta swallow it!
How? well from all I learnt in this little but,not-so-easy lifetime,I came to a conclusion:
Chin up and smile. Shine as bright as you can! Blind them with your radiance! Show them that they've failed in destroying you,even if you think it's not true! Let me tell you dear,the key to the life that you deserve is: You gotta make sure that when they believe they're breaking you,they're not. The truth is they're providing you the elements that builds you! Stronger.! Either you can build a pedestal for yourself with the stones they're throwing at you,or you'll be perished with the unbearable pain. The choice is yours. Hope you're wise enough to know what to choose <3

#oneofthesedays #mirakee #mirakeepoet #poetry #suicideprevention #caretolisten #takeatimetolisten #bethereforoneanother #writingOne Of These Days
One of these days you will read a song of mine
So broken and bruised, you'll want to hold me tight
One of these days you will cry about things my heart tore itself up for
So horrid and tragic, you'll want to keep me safe
One of these days you will ache with sorrows of my today's
So woefully painful, you'll want to heal my broken parts
One of these days you will want to hug me and hold me tight, and give me the love and attention I need,
However, on one of those days it would have all been too late.
