Chains of the mind...

Hi, this is a poem I wrote at the edge of suicidal depression when I was 13 years old..my friend said i should post it here.. enjoy....


~Chains of the mind~

This is a poem I wrote a few years back..enjoy.

Through the nights of utter despair,

I was stabbed by the idea that nobody cares,

I had nothing that I could call my own,

Even my friends left me cold and alone,



I can't get out, I can't be free,

There are to many walls built up inside of me,

I am trapped by my friends who know nothing but war.

Chained to everything that had gone on before,

Lost in the ghetto where my family died,

Fooled into thinking I will never get outside,



Can you really think there is hope for me?

The only home I've ever know has been on the street,

I have become a theif and a liar,

Told there is no chance to re-light the fire that once burned,



The hope has gone out,

Can't you see?

The isn't room in your world for a person like me,

So here I am, broken and torn,



I shall never be free from these chains of my mind,

I will never know that there is more to this life,

I will never have hope,

I will never dream,

The only chance I will ever have has been stolen from me.

no one liked it, you say!! Well, I like it a lot. God has put called me to minister to suicidal kids through my poetry, and this one made my heart ache. I'm glad you came out of your darkness, and I will be praying that God keeps on showing you his love!


It was beautiful, despite how eyeopening and saddening it was. Nice job!
