She Needs Her Mommy

If you are feeling desperate, alone or helpless, or know someone who is

call 1-800-273-TALK (8255) to talk to a counselor

from the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.

Here is the Band Back Together Suicide Resource Page

This is my attempt at putting down my thoughts today in a new form. I’m not poetic, but I tried. That’s all I can do, is try. I’m not suicidal, please do not be scared. I will own it and say I did think it would be easier, but the lines in the poem after that are exactly the thoughts I had after. I also think it’s a good poem for Suicide Prevention Week.

Depression hurts.

Anxiety ravages my body.

I can’t control it. Not today.

Deep sadness overwhelms me.

My body hurts, but won’t be still.

My mind is racing. Thoughts I can’t control.

Too much to do. Not enough time.

Not enough energy, or caring.

It’s too hard sometimes.

I feel so alone.

Life would be easier without the pain.

So easy to just end the sadness.

Make the pain go away.

Easier for who? Myself?

Yes, but only myself.

So much pain for my family, and friends.

I would miss so much.

My daughter needs me.

She needs her mommy.

She needs me to try.

I will try. For her.

She needs her mommy.

About

Band Back Together is a group weblog that provides educational resources as well as a safe, moderated, supportive environment to share stories of survival. Through the power of real stories written by real people, we can work together to destigmatize mental illness, abuse, rape, baby loss and other traumas so that we may learn, grow, and heal.

On Band Back Together, we put a face to things not normally discussed. We are the face of depression. We are the face of baby loss. We are the face of mental illness. We are the face of abuse. We are the face of rape. We are the face of SURVIVORS and we are proud to be here. We wear our scars proudly, like battle wounds because everything we've survived has made us who we are today: better, stronger, and smarter.

It's time to pull our skeletons out of the closet and make them dance the tango.

We will no longer let our secrets fester inside. We will no longer live in the dark.

All are welcome.
