The Life Of A Borderline

The Life of a Borderline

In this borderline mind of mine,

living is Hell,

death sublime,

leave me,

hate me,

push me away,

no wait,

there are things that I cannot say,

fearful that you, not unlike all the rest, will not stay,

cutting deep into my flesh,

helping to get me through the day,

defenses run high,

and impulse control is weak,

struggling to stand on my own two feet,

too often the pain brings about defeat,

sending the darkness back into the light,

emotions become stoic,

depression delights,

walls are built high,

help me,

rescue me,

hold me tight,

its all too much and I need to hide,

I must retreat out of sight,

black and white thought,

no grey inbetween,

thinking too much,

battling my dreams,

I want to die,

no let me live so that I may fight,

here we go again with all the pills,

shrinks,

hospitals,

and therapists too,

they all know how to help me through,

you'll stay away if you know whats good for you,

rejection,

terror,

pain,

and fear,

resounding in the voices of the unfallen tears,

this is my world,

my safety lies here.

I can relate to that so much. Might even use it as an example sometime to show others what I experience things like, if you don't mind that is?
