JUST...STOP!

These are my tears.
This is my pain.
Mine!
You will never understand.
You cannot see inside of me.
I warn you, stay away!
Do not even try to go down this road.
It is for me to take.
Me alone.
I am not asking for your help.
I am not asking for your opinion.
So just stop.
Stop!
I have enough to deal with.
I am all I can handle.
So just stay away.
This is my choice.
My decision.
My life.
Broken as I am.
Lost as I am.
Such as I am.
It's for me to live.
I will do my best to live it the best I know
   how.
Do not even think you are any help at all.
You are a tripping stone.
A bear trap clenched shut on my leg.
Now, let go!
I am not you.
You are not me.
Your words are just babble to my ears.
Just shut up!
Now!
Yeah, I'm angry.
It's my right.
I have plenty to be angry about.
You just make it worse.
I have nothing more to say.

  2. Interesting thoughts,Scott.I understand you were off your meds, still, you do not have to suffer this alone. As you say, it is your life, your choice. Much luck and happiness.
