I'm looking for a place to hide From the real world From my fears From the wrinkles and the wobbly step From ingratitude From attitude and pain I'm looking for a place to hide My self-respecting pride My childhood dreams My love affairs My bliss My life Myself I'm looking for a place to be Without revealing What's NOT me Where people and myself would see Only the part I know is me

Through grey-coloured glasses

Rate: 1 Flag

It was a gorgeous sunny morning after a night of rain and pain. My eyes were not lying to me, the sun was up, the birds were singing, the wild daisies bloomed bright at the edge of the fresh green forest. And yet my brain, or was it my heart, failed to rejoice at God's glory. It was as if someone had placed an invisible weight on my shoulder, tinted my glasses in grey, and I couldn't get through the fog to immerse my self in the beauty. I couldn't even lift myself from bed. It wasn't just the physical pain that stopped me, this time it was something more. A change in brain chemistry perhaps, the famous lack of serotonin (or whatever) that makes people depressed.  I knew I shouldn't but I couldn't stop myself from opening the laptop and googling "painless suicide methods". It seemed like the perfect morning to die.

Oh, this hits hard. But then I am only reading and so I can only imagine how you must feel.

Do you have someone with whom you can share your thoughts?
