Poem: I''m tired, weak, & confused
I''ve tried everything & no matter what 
I always seem to do it all wrong
I''m a terrible mom, girlfriend, homemaker, friend, sister, daughter, employee, & person
I just suck at life
I hate not being able to control
my emotions, thoughts, & feelings
I want nothing but the best for those around me
and I try to do whatever I can to make things better
but it always blows up in my face
My life is a roller coaster
and I don''t like the ride anymore
I feel sick and I wanna get off
I keep screaming to stop the ride
but my screams and cries go unheard
I''m stuck and then it just gets faster
with bigger ups and downs, more twists and turns
I''m starting to lose it
I''ve held on tight for so long
and now I''m losing my grip
the ride isn''t gonna stop
there''s only one way off
I''ll have to jump.

To those who have stepped onto my rollercoaster,
the ride I call my life
I have enjoyed your company and I thank you for sharing the experience with me. I''m sorry that I couldn''t get it right. I''m sorry I always let you down. I''m sorry that I was never the person you wanted me to be. I''m sorry I was never the perfect person that I wanted to be, but know this. I love you all more than anything & I never meant to hurt anyone or disappoint & I know that I have issues & I have tried to help myself for the sake of those I love but I''ve failed at that too & I just can''t sit on this ride anymore it''s driving me nuts. I don''t even wanna wait for another upwards hump. I just need to jump.  ...
