Can I catch my breath
                   for a moment?
Touch my chest
                   for a moment?
Hurt myself        
                   for a moment?
Until I don't feel like me anymore?


Am I depressed
                   at the moment?
Do I need some rest
                   at the moment?
Is it for the best,
                   at the moment,
That you don't need me anymore?

I'm breathing in now, Okay?
And I'm holding it tightly.
Counting the seconds that pass.

Breaking skin now
And you say that its reckless
But sometimes its all that I have

In this moment,
In this moment we live
But we both know this moment wont last

Breathing out now
In hopes that it's over
But the next moments coming on fast

I'm no good
                   is it over
I'm not okay  
                   is it over
And I wont be
                   until its over
And i Feel like me again.

This speaks to me on two levels, one because I have severe depression and two because I have recently lost out on something...very important.

I have never considered self harm as an option but I understand why some people feel the need to do it.

As it's said in this piece, that moment...that moment where we no longer feel numb, we feel something...we feel alive. And of course this moment can never last and we are left back where we were in the beginning, except now we feel worse.

Tragically powerful stuff my friend, very powerful indeed. Well done my friend.
