Survive Or Die?

Lorna Dwyer April 2006

What this feels like?

The helplessness I feel

Towards myself?

One part of me

Just screams

Another cries

Another stares

Another just survives.

I can't do it all

Yet there is no one

I'm all I have,

And I want to die.

There is a scream inside me

But to release it

Would obliterate me

I would tear apart.

I can't cope with everything

Day-to-day like and my mind

Can't function together.

There is no co-existing

No fighting left

Just surviving

Or dying.
