There is no light where i am at, no life, no joy, there is nothing but a long pitch black hallway. The only thing that you can see is my neon red blood flowing from my arms and a few tear drops from my eyes. Each step i take feels like I have a hundred pounds in my shoe. I have been here before but never like this. This is the last place i ever wanted to be. Legs are starting to weakin. Heart starting to pound louder and louder. blood flowing even more. More tears are falling, Feel as if im in danger, Hopeless i am alone, im afried the end is near.I am not alive nor am i dead, i am doomed to a endless life of pain and worry, there is only one way out and it may be the best way for me.This is a story of a broken soul.As days go by my heart grows cold. The neon blood flow starts to slow down the heart is no longer pounding as hard my time is near.I sit in the middle of the hallway, reach into my pocket and take out my last cigarette and as i light it up the dark hallway is lit up for the first time ever as i look around before i light up my cigarette i see the visions of my past, death, pain, suffering everything that has been by my side snice day one. The same pain that has been the cause of my down fall but also the same pain that has made me the man i am today. Lit up my cigarette. Blow the smoke out crying faces are in the smoke. Im really getting sick of myself.The neon blood is starting to dry, starting to dim and dull into a nothingness.This is where im at, a cross road of living and dying. between life and death, almost dead but still alive. The darkness of the hallways starts to cover my body starting with my legs moving its way up.There is no use fighting what is already set in stone a death a painful and lonely death that cant be cured. There will be no coffin nobody will know im gone it will be like i was never here. the darkness reaches my heart almost over. I take the last puff og my cigarette and put it out. as i let of the smoke out the darkness comes pouring out of my mouth, there is no use crying cuz no one will hear the tear drop. Fully covered i fade into the hallway like i was never there its all over. Im dreaming about tomorrow im thinking of yesterday i consume myself in sarrow this moment is what i betray i was searching for the answer and when i look around sometimes i get sad cuz my life was spining out of control. When you cut me into i never thought i would bleed. Im no longer in between living and dying, for the simple fact that i was dead inside a long time ago...i have met death and death is me.very mad

Start Where You Stand
By Berton Braley


Start where you stand and never mind the past,
The past won't help you in beginning new,
If you have left it all behind at last
Why, that's enough, you're done with it, you're through;
This is another chapter in the book,
This is another race that you have planned,
Don't give the vanished days a backward look,
Start where you stand.


The world won't care about your old defeats
If you can start anew and win success;
The future is your time, and time is fleet
And there is much of work and strain and stress;
Forget the buried woes and dead despairs,
Here is a brand-new trial right at hand,
The future is for him who does and dares,
Start where you stand.


Old failures will not halt, old triumphs aid,
To-day's the thing, to-morrow soon will be;
Get in the fight and face it unafraid,
And leave the past to ancient history,
What has been, has been; yesterday is dead
And by it you are neither blessed nor banned;
Take courage, man, be brave and drive ahead,
Start where you stand.

Awakening....
By John McLeod

Awakening, dawn's chorus
Welcoming,
The day new, untouched
Waiting to be filled....

And will we paint a rainbow
With all its promise
Or dull the canvas
Sadly seen?

Each day brings its own colours
To be chosen, mixed,
Pigments of joy,
Happy moments,
Smiles and laughter....

And which will you choose?
For 'Life' is choice,
We are all painters
In our own way,
All needing to create
Something of worth,
Of lasting beauty,
Marking our journey....

Footprints in the sand....

The sky today is azure,
The sun warm and golden
A filigree of light and shadow-play
Through the gently swaying trees.

I clean my brushes,
Choose my palette
Of vibrant, living colours,
And begin to fill
Today's blank canvas

The World Is Against Me
By Edgar A. Guest

"The world is against me," he said with a sigh.
"Somebody stops every scheme that I try.

The world has me down and it's keeping me there;
I don't get a chance. Oh, the world is unfair!
When a fellow is poor then he can't get a show;
The world is determined to keep him down low."


"What of Abe Lincoln?" I asked. "Would you say
That he was much richer than you are to-day?
He hadn't your chance of making his mark,
And his outlook was often exceedingly dark;
Yet he clung to his purpose with courage most grim
And he got to the top. Was the world against him?"


"What of Ben Franklin? I've oft heard it said
That many a time he went hungry to bed.
He started with nothing but courage to climb,
But patiently struggled and waited his time.
He dangled awhile from real poverty's limb,
Yet he got to the top. Was the world against him?


"I could name you a dozen, yes, hundreds, I guess,
Of poor boys who've patiently climbed to success;
All boys who were down and who struggled alone,
Who'd have thought themselves rich if your fortune they'd known;
Yet they rose in the world you're so quick to condemn,
And I'm asking you now, was the world against them?"

Things Work Out
By Edgar A. Guest

Because it rains when we wish it wouldn't,
Because men do what they often shouldn't,
Because crops fail, and plans go wrong-
Some of us grumble all day long.
But somehow, in spite of the care and doubt,
It seems at last that things work out.


Because we lose where we hoped to gain,
Because we suffer a little pain,
Because we must work when we'd like to play-
Some of us whimper along life's way.
But somehow, as day always follows the night,
Most of our troubles work out all right.


Because we cannot forever smile,
Because we must trudge in the dust awhile,
Because we think that the way is long-
Some of us whimper that life's all wrong.
But somehow we live and our sky grows bright,
And everything seems to work out all right.


So bend to your trouble and meet your care,
For the clouds must break, and the sky grow fair.
Let the rain come down, as it must and will,
But keep on working and hoping still.
For in spite of the grumblers who stand about,
Somehow, it seems, all things work out.

DKC, I hear you loud and clear. I've taken a lot of different drugs, trying to find something that works. Your description is top-notch. I really relate with how you feel. I can't offer any answers. I feel the same way you do. I'm still breathing, but I'm already dead. I'm not trying to encourage you to commit suicide, but I've had a few friends do so. I know what it feels like to contemplate suicide.

I just wanted you to know I understant how you feel. If you want to talk to me at any time, feel free to.

We are all condemed to die. We do not know the time we have. For some it is long and for others it is short. We all must make the best of that which we have.....each day.....each moment. Never give up, as sure as you do....its over. We never know what cure is only a day away from being found. Their have been many that are told they have only a short time and have lived many years. Read "Anatomy of an Illness" by Norman Cousins. Given only months to live, he filled his life with all the humor he could find...believing laughter does good like a medicine.....he lived many years. Fill you life with goals, laughter.....make plans for life and not death. I wish you wellness! You are alive....live it and live it to the fullness you can. Leave death to itself and live. Get your mind outside of the walls you are in. Read or listen to books and tapes of people who have overcome or those who made their exit with great strenght. "The Last Lecture" Fight for life and life more lived. We do not know our future only the quailty we make of it. Best Wishes!
