[net.suicide] Bad memories

mhauck (01/27/83)

I post this here because it doesn't belong in net.poems.
I'm diabetic and hurting right now and needed to release
the pain I have felt for a long time.
I'm a poetic and writer at heart so it is my way of releasing
the emontions pent up inside of me.
This is no apology just a statement of fact.

Memories
These memories are sad
Pain seems to stay more then happiness
I remember hot water and hurt
Cut fingers being sewed together
Car colliding and time and teeth lost
Pain of body and mind for all days

Released now forever
the cruelty of growing up
Being laughed at and rediculed
Being slapped and hit for fun.
No friends, alone but not alone.
Echos of the taunts follow me

And now with the problems of
living a full free life
no more can I live as I did
Sweetness is more emeny
I have be hurt again by my body
What good is life this way?

Hew, M.J., this isn't net.depression or net.group.therapy, this is the group
for people who can find the humor in the following article (reprinted in full
from the Providence Evening Bulletin - 1/28/83):

		SHE FALLS 20 STORIES, LIVES

NEW YORK - A 22 year-old woman was listed in guarded condition today after
plunging from the roof of a 20-story Coney Island apartment building,
authorities said.

Witnesses said [name deleted] jumped feet first from the building Tuesday
afternoon, falling into a 4-foot-high hedge, bouncing up about one story
and then falling back into a muddy lawn. The impact made a foot-deep
indentation in the mud, police say.
