"It's better to burn out than to fade away..." -Kurt Cobain


I'm crying the same tears of pain again.
One day they'll all run out.
And then what will I do?
I know I'll never stop being mad,
And I'll never stop being sad.
Life just can't resist pissing me off.


And you are one of the problems.
Loving you is like loving a disease.
And I'm not strong enough for the vaccine,
Or deserving enough.
But I know I can't be mad at you,
I can only be mad at myself.
Mad at myself for getting my hopes up
And thinking that maybe by some slim chance,
It was possible for you to love me back.


Is it ok just to give up?
Is it ok to drop all your problems unto a blade,
And let that blade release all the pressure that you had held inside?
I don't want to wait around to find out.
I can't erase my words or actions,
But I know I can erase me.

This is about how I have and still am battling years of depression. Sometimes I've come so close, and other times I'm just too scared. This is about one moment when I've come dangerously close.

Thanks, it has gotten a bit better. But sometimes it is hard to know when I'm happy because I'm used to being unconfident. I hate that I hate myself still, but I guess that with time it can only get better....

Boy, when you're dead, they really fix you up. I hope to hell when I do die somebody has sense enough to just dump me in the river or something. Anything except sticking me in a goddam cemetery.  People coming and putting a bunch of flowers on your stomach on Sunday, and all that crap. Who wants flowers when you're dead? Nobody. ~J.D. Salinger,The Catcher in the Rye,
