Poems for the lost souls

Try

What happens to a person
When they've been in their mind to long?
What happens when they have
Nowhere to turn?
What happens when their demons
Catch up?

I'll tell you what happens
The voices start to talk
We curl up and cry
We try to fight them off on our own
But on our own we are not as strong
On our own the demons...they don't listen
Their what was once suggestions turns to threats
Their what was once whispers turns to screams
Their what was once game turns to reality

The voices will talk,
We cry, scream
We fight
We are not strong
The demons don't listen
Suggestions turn to threats
Whispers turn to screams
Games turn to reality
All stuff I've heard before
But that's not it,
What truly happens?

What truly happens...
I haven't told the truth before...
We turn to them
We do their wishes
We cut into our delicate skin
We let the flood gates of thoughts open
We laugh at the face of death
Because we aren't afraid to die
We invite it
We push away ones we love
Because "we don't need them"
We fight on our own
Because "we don't need them"
We deal with this pain, this suffering, this bottomless hole
Because "we don't need them"

But we do.
Simple as that.
We do need them
They are what ground us
When we feel ourselves slipping
They are the ones that close the door to death
They are the ones that say not today.

But the voices....
They don't stop
They just temporarily go away
Isn't it easier to just accept fate?

It may be easier yes
But it's not right
We may walk through the door
But later regret it
All we saw
Was the bad in our life
The demons
But once we walk through,
We see what we miss
We want to go back out
Take it back
But we can't
We're stuck

I try to remind myself that when I want to cry
I try to remind myself that when I want to cut
I try to remind myself that when I want to die

Try harder.
Don't try by yourself.
Have your close ones try
Have reminders
Have screenshots
Have anything you can
That reminds you of happiness
Try.
Because you will regret.

And when trying doesn't work?

Fight.
And don't fight on your own.

That requires trust in others
Trust that they understand
Trust that they will help
Trust that they won't leave me hanging dry
Trust that they will fight by my side
Trust I don't have
