Post This Before You Lose Your Nerve
Music Box
There is a soft dark tune that plays-
In the shadowy corners of my soul
I always keep my silence.
But it’s time to face the music-
Sometimes I think about killing myself.
But I never talk about it-
As if not talking about it
Will make it go away.
As if not talking about it-
Makes it all ok.
It’s locked in a music box-
That’s in a chest with chains
Sitting on the bottom of the ocean.
But that chest is full of poison-
In the ocean of my heart.
And I have to break the chains
And bust that secret out.
Hiding isn’t helping and-
It’s time to set it free
Sometimes I think about killing myself.
There I said it-
Now it’s out for all to see.

It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).

I recently learned that "passive suicidal ideation" was a thing. You're not actively planning it... but you sure do think about it. It's a thing, and a lot of people do it... myself included. *hugs*
"I never talk about it. As if talking about it will make it go away." This made me smile. I never thought about it like this, out loud, but that's how I genuinely felt. Now I keep nothing to myself and choose wisely as to whom I share it with, but I, too, found my healing in telling the world of my struggles. I wrote a whole book about it. Talking about it really does help. Thanks for your honesty :)
You may think you are alone in this. YOU ARE NOT. Especially these days...so much stress. Just think of the many who feel this way...it will cheer you right up, knowing that all our hands are joined with you,
