writing help: October 7th - Help.com

October 7th

October the seventh, two thousand and nine
I’m hoping that I promise this for the last time
The first step towards triumph comes from defeat
Before an advance I must first retreat

Retreat I do; sly, furtive, discreet
You know the drill: wash, slice, repeat
You know the saying: No Pain, No Gain
So why do I feel so tinged with shame?

The treatment of the prisoner is inhumane
You’ve no resistance, you hold the blame
We’re accustomed now, to this violent deal
But today this ends;
today, I heal.

(I wrote this yesterday after giving in, but I’m not so sure anymore.)

Lol @ cat!! It’s vicious alright.

The thing is, I don’t want to bother people, so all this is kept to myself. I’ve always been like that.

Haha thanks though. I am trying.

Ahhhhh!!!! You MUST bother people. I like to keep to myself to but one day, I took a step back and realized I was going to do something over the top if I didnt tell somebody. When you’re having trouble, at least post here. You never know what help you may find. :)

Well what ever it is ur about to do it is best to get the perspective of diff ppls opinion. some things are obvious but sometimes u need some one to either encourage or to remind u that heck u can do it even there is a light of darkness that tells u that u’ll screw up.soo clueless what ur doing or going through but keeping things bottled as u know is never healthy
