my self containment, for the story that isn't

because there is no story to tell.
i need a song to hold me up.
someone tell me how to wake to the next day.
how could i be worth so little?
do you know what 12 years is?
it's the blink of an eye.
and then some more...
chances.
taking chances with lives,
 that last forever.

and these words are supposed to help me. i'm supposed to lean on them. counselors gonna help me?
i mean don't get me wrong. i need ... sfk alks sf; 09[q8353 vO*U$#RJ *&%%$%$E
help.
i'm a shell
none of you have to contain me. you can say you care all you want. you can be concerned. you can offer an idea an hour. I contain me!
if it was video recorded. you probably couldn't even sit through it.
but my whole life is a container for it.

Before sharing a comment, please know that I write for myself. I write for my own growth, to help me become a more integrated and grounded person. I invite you to share in this journey in the hopes that my experience will resonate with those who need it to. My purpose is transparency rather than dialogue. As such I will not be responding to anyone individually via this site. If you are in need please seek help for yourself. I will, however, be reading your comments and stories with a heart wide open. If my words mean something to you, it is not by accident that you are here. May healing and hope always be your horizon!
