Straight Jacket
by me

a straight jacket to keep
me bound,
it would be better for them
If I were forever silent with no sound,
- nor made a peep.

fear, fear worked for awhile,
but writing carried me for miles.

O what they must think,
inspired suffering.
swiftly they come
with their white jackets
to tie me down.

what It must look like,
chaos to peace,
insanity to normalcy,
blood to water,
everything.

Get close enough
but don't go in too deep
keep your feet swift
or you shall sink.

That's a sad poem. Did you get put into a mental hospital once? It is nicely expressed, though.

yeah I have when I was younger, in my twenties, it was a failed 'almost' attempt. didnt know how to fight depression like I do now. I think when you are at your worst you can't see anything but the end, you reason that it is doing the world a favor but that is the biggest lie, and the truth is, you don't want to die, you want an answer on how to escape what you are in, some people don't know that they can escape it, fight it, and live, knowing that whatever dark they are going through will eventually end because there is always a silver lining in the sky, there is always hope, no one is too far gone, no matter how far, or deep they think they are. There is always a reason, an answer, a future and a hope.

thanks
