I'm in love with you

With the pain that you give me

To make me feel better

But it's time to let you go, my friend

Every time I go to you

I damage myself

I hurt because of you

I hurt them

Because I go to you

When you hurt me

You hurt them

It's time to let you go my friend

Yes you make me feel better

But in the end you hurt me

You have ruined my life

Have done nothing but bring me down

I will admit

There will be times

Where I'll want to go back to you

To be held by your comfort

But I will fight you

With all that I've got

I know I may fall back in your arms

A few times before

Getting you out of my life for good

That doesn't make me a failure

I still love you

But I need to let you go

So that I can be me

No one can love me

Until I can love myself

In order to do that

I need you out of my life

Good-Bye my friend

*takes a breath* Ah the title scared me at me first before I opened up the post to read. Heart skipped a beat.

Anyway I like this. It could have 2 meanings. I'm sure when you wrote it that it was about one thing in mind. But actually it could have 2 meanings.

It could be about an ex it could be about someone else in your life it could also be about depression and letting yourself let go of depression, knowing you'll sometimes fall back into depressions arms (as I've said before) Because it's weird what depression does to a soul. It hurts but we get so used to it we do kind of 'fall in love' with it. It's odd. Maybe love is the wrong word. I'm not sure. Either way you become comfortable in it.

You are gonna do fine Lee. I can see it in you already. You're a good person. :)

I have to say, that poem brought a lump to my throat. This was such a powerful and inspiring poem to read. Finally having the internal strength to say "no, I will beat this" is a wonderful moment

I thought that the title would do that. :lol: I didn't think about it until after.

I guess you could say it could have more than just 2 meanings too :P

I was talking about cutting but after reading it when I was done there are a few things that it definitely could be about.

That's funny you mention the thing about the arms of depression because as soon as I read that part after it was written I thought back to what you said before :lol:

This was one of those poems that I write where I don't know what I am writing until the end :unsure:

Sometimes those are the best kind, I think.

It was amazing and I love the poem. You're writing always moves me and reminds me a lot of myself.

The most powerful words is when the person that reads them can feel the same emotions coursing within them.

You are quite capable of that power

So never stop.

Lee great poem about the struggles you have had with cutting. I hope you can break the habit and live as a happy man for the rest of your life.

I love this. It's powerful, in the sense of taking control of your life and not letting anything stop you. It's realistic, but it's optimistic too, admitting the possibility of relapse but standing firm in that if it happens, that it will not mean failure. Rise above! Persevere!

*HUGS*

Wonderful honey

Do you realize that in the process of finding a new outlet for your pain you not only help yourself but many others. I have read the replies and felt how you have inspired the members here, you should be proud of yourself. you have helped a few members that have replied and probably many more that could not reply.

Yes I realize this :) I lose site of that sometimes. Sometimes I sit here and forget that I have ever helped anyone. Sometimes I need a push with that. :lol:

      I grew up with it, my mother's side were Germans.  I still like cabbage.  I make a sweet/sour dish with vinegar and brown sugar, add some bacon if you have it.  And in warmer weather, slaw.  I like that better if it's a few days old, and has worked off a little.

      Good Friday Morning    I will be spending a good portion of my day at church today.  I don’t know how any of my family would have been with me.  They all passed before I figured myself out.  I often think my mother and sister may have figured it out before I did but maybe it was just my depression that they saw.  I don’t know and never will.  My grandfather Young unconditionally loved me but he passed when I was 9.   Same with my wife’s parents, both gone before.  We’ve never had the greatest relationship with my wife’s brother but we do see them occasionally.  They words and actions aren’t always in sink when it comes to me.   Sour kraut or boil cabbage were never big even with my parents so that was something we were never expected to eat.  Nor was anything with mustard.  My mother hated mustard and it turns my stomach. My wife tried to sneak it into things early in our marriage but I could always tell.  She stopped after a while.   well I wave to go get ready to go to church.  I have a committee meeting at 10 and then we have a Good Friday Service at noon.   Willow

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      In the warmer weather, Mine is hitting the road on the bike. Just me, the bike, and the road. Other is it music or working on one of my many projects.   Kymmie

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.
