Not Living

February 15, 2010
By Anonymous

Happiness- does that even exsist anymore?
Maybe for someone else- but not for me.
I put a knife to my throat, and as I did, I realized I am never happy anymore.
What is the point of living, when you never smile?
Or never laugh.
Life is about living,
But I have never felt really alive.
So again-
What's the point of living?

I had a suicide attempt, because my life seemed pointless. I felt empty and alone. Now, I am not suicidal or depressed, but I did have to get my feelings out so I could truly move on with my life. I hope that if anyone else feels like I did, that they can eventually find happiness like I did.
