When I'm Hurting

It's easier for you to walk away, than it is for you to reach out to me.
It's easier for you to look away, than it is for you to see the depth of my despair.
It's easier for you to look through me, than it is for you to see "me."
It's easier for you to distance yourself, than it is for you to really care.
It's easier for you to hear, than it is for you to listen.
It's easier for you to judge, than it is for you to understand.
It's easier for you to label, than it is to get acquainted.
It's easier for you to bask in your joy, than it is for you to feel my pain.
It's easier for you to bewilder at my mysteries, than it is for you to probe deeply into the depths of my soul.


It's easier for me to look away, than it is to let you see the feelings betrayed through my eyes.
It's easier for me to cry, than it is for me to talk.
It's easier for me to walk alone, than it is to risk rejection.
It's easier for me to push you away, than it is for me to be held.
It's easier for me to distance myself, than it is to trust that you won´t hurt me.
It's easier for me to die, than it is for me to face life's challenges.


It's hard for me to smile when I am hurting.
It's hard for me to talk when you won't understand.
It's hard for me to reach out when I need help the most.


If only you'd really look at me and see who I am.
If only you cared enough to reach out when I push you away.
If only you'd hold me, without asking why.
If only you'd acknowledge the validity of my feelings.


But it's the easy roads that are most often taken.
And so I hurt alone.

I like this Brianna but I hope you didn't write it

Yes I wrote this when I was having a rough time

It is very good, I am only sorry you had to feel that way.

I was told to write things out when I'm feeling bad. I tend to keep it all inside.

And how I know that Brianna

Mike & Brianna, I'm right with you on that. That is often why I wonder if I have a correct diagnosis because there are so many other things that bother me that I NEVER really talk to anybody about

Hey we got each other, and that's all that matters. I we have that private forum

You're a sick dark lost soul. We don't need your kind here, thank you.

I held things in for years, then it slowly started coming out, now, I still keep some things in, but not so much.
