Link to original post: [drupal=3467]0342 AM[/drupal]



I often have trouble going to sleep. Some nights, though, I have a delusion that the perfect girl is behind me with her arms around me and body pressed up against me. It feels so real that I actually feel the warmth of her body, and I'm able to go to sleep rather easily.

But not once has that delusion every become a reality.


I sit on my front porch, watching the street light across the street. It flickers once. It’s 3:42 am; I can't sleep, and I just realized that even though my family loves me, the only thing I want is someone to care for me, someone to love.

So I sit on my front porch, watching the light. I might smoke a cigarette or two, but I don’t really need them. I watch the tree near the street light sway in the wind, scared of life.

I might have had a girl in my life once, but it soured and went wrong. It might have been my fault, but odds are that it wasn’t. Odds are is that she dumped me, because being with me made her depressed. Then I realized that I just lost a great chance to change my life around.

So I sit outside on my front porch.
I watch the street light across the street.
I might shed a tear or two, but this isn’t a physical sadness that can be purged.

This is a soul-crushing, black abyss kind of sadness. And I'm scared and alone, and all I want is someone to look at me and say:

“Everything will be okay. Come with me.”

Instead, I sit on my front porch. I watch the street light. And I die inside.

And that's when you realize, she's the heroine of my story, but I'm not even a side character in her's.

I bask in the glow of an empty word file as I scramble for the words that will fill the crevices and open spaces. It is midnight and I have accomplished nothing. Why should I? Every other accomplishment has given me a foot-hold to climb higher and higher, only to result in making one fatal mistake that causes me to come crashing down.

The sweat and blood I put into each run seems so futile, so meaningless when everything results in failure. The pain has hurt so much that I no longer see the world as being open with possibilities. I only see it as a pit that stretches vertically on and on to eternity.

Every step I take, I grimace in anticipation for the pain that comes from the fall. As I climb further I no longer am moved by the momentum of my accomplishments, but cringe at my coming death as I fall endlessly back into the endless pit.

I stare back at the empty word file and gaze at its beauty, its innocence. It is very much like a newborn baby or an optimistic child who dreams of becoming anything and everything the world has to offer. The untapped potential emerges as a soft glow, beckoning for direction. An innocent page that is unaware of the ugliness that smearing it with words can bring.

I finally have the gall to taint the page and present my life as a stage, even though I am filled with shame at trying to shoot for a prize that's outside my gauge, "To whom it may concern, I have attached my resume sent to your HR department with a keen interest in..."

I stumble through the night. The lights are out; I don't need them. It's better if it's dark. In the darkness, I don't have to see the world, and the world doesn't have to see me.

I stumble through the darkness of my own home. But it doesn't feel like my home. Nothing feels like home anymore. I once felt like I had a home... I felt its warm light on my face. It comforted me. But no longer. I don't sleep anymore...

Instead, I stumble on through the abyss of my life. I do this every night. Was the comfort I once had called love? Did I ruin it by closing my eyes to all the light? I do not know, but what I do know is that all I see now is empty darkness.

So I stumble through the darkness... and then... I stubbed my toe. Ouch.
And now I sit here, with my stubbed toe. The pain will never leave. All that's left in my life is pain, darkness, and misery.

A single tear rolls down my cheek. Several times. From both eyes.

Something bothers me. Something i feel every day. Something that has haunted me since i was young.

I remember it slightly but my memory is blurred. I still feel the pain as if it happened just yesterday. I remember back when the pain got worse. It consumed every other emotion i had, every moment ruined by the darkness inside. Nothing seems to make the pain go away.

Pain so bad it makes me cry in the middle of the day. I can do nothing but suppress it. I keep it locked inside me till it eats away slowly. It keeps destroying my life and i CANT STOP IT!

Suppressing this pain caused me to go into a deep depression. A depression so deep i wonder if my thoughts are just wasted energy. Is my life even worth anything? The pain comes back, but i hold it off. It keeps stabbing me from the inside trying to break free, but i have to restrain it, or else something... bad... will happen.

But keeping it in just makes my depression worse. I ponder on the thought of suicide, thinking it will make my troubles go away... at the brink of death i stand and the only thing that keeps me coming back is the thought that i can make it better. This pain that torments me, its anger. Anger is an ugly beast, suppressing it is like devouring yourself from the inside. A pain you never thought possible, i felt every day. I still feel it at times.


I have made a massive turn in my life, I didn't do it alone though. I thank my close friends, my acquaintances, some healthy dose of herbal therapy *cough cough*, and even some exercise to let the stress out.

At OP: Great read man, as you can see it has inspired other people to spill theyr guts too. Writing your feelings and experiences has been proven to be therapeutic in a way

Cheer up, emo kid. It'll be all right.

But more seriously, Eikelmann, you seem fairly young, and you'll have other opportunities to make friends, meet girls, etc. It probably doesn't feel that way now, but these moments do pass.

In that African-American face, I saw an Asian. I saw a boy who lost something he barely had, something he barely knew. Grasping at a Dandelioness' puffball, only to have it twist and turn, titillating the hand while it floats beyond reach. In his eyes, I saw the shadows that clouded his mind - impaired his thought. In his mouth, I saw the lust, fiendishly tearing away his heart. It spoke of all the ifs. It apologized. It begged to kissed by like long lost. In his body, I saw a boy broken only in his mind, clouded with the shadows from his own figure.

*Hack, Cough, Hiccup*
I tugged at his shoulders as he partook in his new found hobbies: alcohol, weed, cigarettes.
I tug, tug, and tug some more, but he remains bent over in a stupor.

In his eyes I saw an Asian. That Asian man too was lost on life's long journey. As he walked through the gummy fog, he stopped looking at the ground, and looked toward the sky. As that man looked back on the road that meanders, the blazing sun blinds his eye. He could only hope that boy would move forward and look up. As the man with slanted eyes continued to walk down the dancing road, he caught himself looking down again - but he smile, he just wanted to make sure he didn't step in ****.

Cheer up bucko. I don't need to lecture anyone on life, problems, and how to get past them. I hope you (and my friend) find your strength and move forward :D

I'm emotional, yeah. I get it, lol.

I'm 17, going on 18. I'm just a hopeless romantic now.

I think you'd like it here, and also, it might help you get that sleep.

Thanks.

Once I sat on my porch for a whole night once, but then I realised actually it wasn't really worth it and I'd rather lie in a comfy warm bed.

Wow I haven't seen a troll combo like that in ages.

That's not how we're meant to treat depressed people, even if you find it funny. After all, if he had the ability to get rid of his inhibition and post something that most would take the piss out of, it's probably not something you should be taking the piss out of.

But hey OP, try not to focus on how **** life is, that's usually what brings everyone down.

Mooney, you know i <3 you bro, I really do, but you're 17 god **** years old. I felt like that too when i was 17. Then i realized i was being ********(no joke, someone asked me randomly one day "you dont seem depressed like you used to be" and I responded with "Thats because i was just being stupid")

Life sucks. It happens. Constantly. You're going to feel sad and frustrated, probably alot. Your want to feel loved is natural but to become so dependent on something you probably dont actually know anything about(that thing being love and this statement holds true for pretty much anyone who reads this, you dont know anything about love) is foolish. Rather than being depressed about that fact that non-existent perfect girl sample A isnt making everything all better for you, you should just be happy with the fact that you're lucky enough to have the resources to go online and ***** about it.

You want everything to be ok? Stop wallowing in self pity, understand that having a female tell you everything will be ok wont make it so and that if you want to be happy you have to work towards it yourself, not expect someone to hand it to you.

tl;dr Pink Reaper is easily annoyed by emo white kids.

Edit: **** i did it again, serious post in User Blogs. To even this out here's a picture of a cat on a unicycle

I don't wallow in self pity, nor am I an "emo kid" (even though emo is just short for emotional). I simply enjoy expressing myself via expressive writings. Is there a problem in this?

I would prefer you actually understand my outlook on a many different things before taking such a strong assumption upon me.

the only problem is that u cant take some healthy criticism. most other ppl hav been in the situation ur in now if not a worse one, were just tryin to tell u that it sucks now, but itll get better
hence, "cheer up emo kid"
is short for "look forward to a better tomorow, and dont let ur emotions take over ur life"

Hence, "I'm going to burn your house down, kill your parents, and then feed them to you as chili" is short for, "life really sucks for both of us, but I'll give you something to look forward to in the future."

No, I'm pretty sure "cheer up emo kid" is used as a put down against said "emo's."
