Suicide, Depression and Self-harm Quotes

86

This darkness, it consumes me.
It feels as though everything around
Is closing in and I can't fight anymore
So I give up and lose all the ground
I had fought to gain and let them win.
People and demons bring me down
And I have grown used to it
I learned I am no longer safe and sound
From the names I get or give myself
what scared me most is what I found
Which was I no longer feared death

In fact I craved it,
I just want the pain to go away
And even though I do things to myself,
I promised myself I would stay
On this earth as long as I can
And if I left, it wouldn't be by my way
But of another or natural causes

Sadly because I made a promise
I can't change me feeling dead inside
And I don't think anyone else will,
So instead the tears I cry
Is what I keep away from people.
And the scars are what I hide
I can do so by using a simple smile
So that I can convince others
I don't want to die
The thing is, I don't know if I can
Convince others or myself that I'm fine
I find myself hurting more and more
Maybe one day you'll see the signs
And confront me or try to "help"
But I'll just tell you another lie
Telling you it's not what you think
And now isn't the time
But I'll sit and wonder
What it'd be like if I ended my life
And why I shouldn't break a promise
Although I can barely see why
I've kept it for so long
Maybe committing suicide
Is exactly what I need
Maybe I'll just give it a try
Because technically I died
Long ago and it was society's fault
But it was then I died inside
So maybe I won't be killing myself

But letting myself be free
I keep telling myself these things
So I pray that you can see
That right now I need someone
And I need them quick to save me
Before I convince myself it's not suicide
But a great act of pity
And I do what I can never take back
You hold the key
It's your choice to unlock it
Or just leave me be

To die alone
And if you barge in in time
Then you might find me in a zone
You need to snap me out of it
if you don't, you'll need the phone
To call the authorities
And let them know
That someone set themselves free
