Be it Family, or Friends, or the Fine People of Poal.

They all express a certain concern about my mental well-being.

And I appreciate that.

They mean well.

They Truly do.

But they can't understand.

And every single time I to explain it to them,

They misunderstand.

It is almost like every single moment I have spent in this existence attempting to write poetry has been practice for telling them what they need to hear.

And I have not gone far enough.

I have failed, over and over and over again.

I tell them something, and they think I am going to kill myself, when that is the least of my intentions.

When I write, or speak, the goal is the opposite.

I need to make these words Perfect.

I need you to kill yourself.

We’ll that’s just mean and unreasonable, but maybe I’ll change my mind about killing myself after reading enough of your poems. Never give up!

So you do admit it is your intent to kill yourself? I was always good at reading prose.

That’s dark. A righteous man doesn’t want darkness. So, forgive and forget all the wrongs done to you and live a better life. Find love or what you need to complete you. I think your posts have been enlightening, so I want the best for you.

Maybe we need to give it all a break for a while and find happiness, love and warmth of family. Times are hard but that just makes us stronger.

My family was the same way when I was a little more involved here. I just stopped telling them about anything I read here or on other sites and they think the problem is over now.
