Talk
I just want to talk,
About the stupid things clouding my mind,
But honestly the only thing that shoud happen is people should mock,
Me for being so weak, my thoughts should stay confined,
Why should I bother anyone else, what gives me the right?
They're my problems, I shouldn't need anyone's help to deal with it,
But I'm too weak on my own for this fight,
It would be so much easier just to quit,
It's my fault for being depressed anyway,
And other's have their own problems, and they're more important than a wretch like me,
I only even deserve to be alive because of my suffering and dismay,
Wanting the help of someone else for my problem, how selfish can I be?
I've helped others with this problem, or at least tried,
But they deserved happiness, I don't even deserve the peace of suicide.

Wow I really like the scary darkness gritty realism of this piece Cory because I've been there and that sort of self -talk; interesting how your title has at least double meaning in that regard too. And we are our own harshest critics too..and you pose some great interesting questions too because battling depression and demons we don't want to be selfish but sometimes just aren't fucking strong enough to go it alone and need a helping hand; nothing to be ashamed of. Difficult for the human being to see self worth within though when all they've seen is darkness for what seems like forever; doubt there worthiness...thx for the courage to write so REAL...
