Tightrope - May 1st 2014, 02:16 PM

This thread has been labeled as triggering, particularly on the subject of self harm, by the original poster or by a Moderator. The contents of this thread might therefore not be suitable for certain sensitive users. Please take this into consideration before continuing to read.

it's a balancing act,
as each urge comes and goes,
catapulting me along a tightrope,
the crowd below looking up - waiting for me to fall,
no harness or strings attached,
fall and i'll tumble to the ground,
onto a bed of blades,
that one by one will slice every bit of me,
its a balancing act of urges and demons,
there's no where to hide,
one tiny step at a time,
a balancing act on the tightrope
as urge each comes and goes....
i'll sometimes fall , i'll sometimes break,
but this tightrope i'm on is for the blades to take..


'There will be bad days, there will be good days, there will be really bad days, and really good days, and days that are not bad or good but just simply suck, but either way you got through it and you are here today and that is all that really matters''

So true.


Do you ever get a little bit tired of life
Like you're not really happy but you don't wanna die
Like you're hanging by a thread but you gotta survive
'Cause you gotta survive

You inspire me.


I moved back while
my head was turned.

Upside down
closer to the end.

Afraid of the dark
within future times.

I'm drowning there,
my final chase.
