What to do? What do think?

My mind starts to pace.

I really start to feel for those like me,

On Earth there is no place.

 

I cannot keep going,

No more life can I unfurl.

So, to look down or look up,

To the fiery gates or the ones made of pearl?

  I think these things,

And then come to grips,

It is not my decision,

I should bite down on my lips.

 

But something must change,

Or one of those places I’ll end.

Be it by God’s hand,

Or my own, I will descend or ascend.

People ask me, “What do you want to do?”

I want to tell them, “Live a simple life, just like you”.

People ask me, “How are things going?”

I want to tell them, “Better” but honestly the pain inside me is growing.

People ask me, “Where do you see yourself in 10 years?”

I want to tell them, “Dead, high, or drunk off 10 beers”.

People ask me questions on a daily basis,

And to them I must lie sadly just to save face.

I number these because I don’t care.

These are just mere writings that will end up nowhere.

I number these because they deserve no title.

These are just thoughts, but I’m told to write them is vital.

I number these so I can see the progression.

The progression of my obsession with aggression and depression.

I number these to see my worsening condition,

And wonder at what number I will give in to my life’s tightening submission.

From the depths of my soul I wonder.

Why me. Why now. Questions like these, I sit all day and I ponder.

Yet no answer falls upon my weary soul.

The more that I think, deeper and deeper becomes my hole.

It gets so deep that it is un-escapable and the memories too, un-erasable.

And my whole childhood too, is irreplaceable.

I’m done, I give up, my white flag’s raising,

But the sad thing is my story ain’t special, it really ain’t that amazing.

I came into a situation into which much guidance was needed.  I was lost in life without a roadmap.  So I looked to my shoulders for advice.  I turned to my left and saw a small red devil looking my way.  I asked the devil, “What should I do.  I have no place in this world.  I cannot find a lock for my key.  What would you recommend for a soul such as mine?” The devil looked at me with a slight grin, “Why not end it all?”  I am angered; I call upon guidance and the first advice given was to end it all.  Disappointed I turned to my right shoulder and, expecting to see a four inch angel in all its majesty, but instead I saw a replica of the tiny devil still weighing down my left shoulder. “You?  I already have you. Give me the angel that all are rightly given”, I demanded.  The devil sat down on my shoulder as if we were friends, hell maybe we were, and said, “You needed help.  I heard you calling and came, quicker than the angel which you hold in higher regards.  What help is it that you could possibly need?”  Puzzled, I pondered this information.  Could the angel that sits on everyone’s shoulder really have forsaken me?  Could it, at my lowest low, just have walked away; turned a cold shoulder and blind eye to me?  My question was answered as I spent the rest of the day conversing with the 2 devil’s roosting upon my shoulders.

always

worth reading. i'd say deep, but it's not - your writing is right at eye level, and well done.
