A knife to flesh
To cut the skin
Realising blood
And tension within.
A fist to stone
To break the bones
Covering up
All the pain within.
An open mouth
A pill popped in
To forget
All troubles built within.
A slow walk
To the end of a cliff
Jump right over
To forget all these things.

You can turn off the lights, You can climb into your bed, But you cant turn off your mind, The thoughts running through your head.
It would take five seconds. Not even. To never see anything again. But something holds me back, makes me look up as the evening sun sinks lower into the sky. Nobody cares, I remind myself.
It's like drowning. Always drowning. The water fills your lungs, And threatens to pull you under. You'd have to be depressed to understand.
My sleeves are stained red,. And I'm drowning in my head,. The river's burst and flowing,. What was hidden is now showing,. There are pathways on my skin,. Leading down to what's within,.
crying. I just spoke with my dad. he knows I'm dying inside. I told him when I used to cut it was never to kill myself. it wasn't. but I cut yesterday. I still cut and I want to tell him and get help.
Why should I live, when I'm downing in tears. Why should I try, when I'm face to face with my fears. I scream but no one hears, I'm behind a glass door in a room made of mirrors.
Do you know what it's like to feel pain. It's more than a bee sting, more than a scraped knee. Do you know what it's like to be left all alone, to just not wanna feel.
It's been a long time. I've not written a thing. My life's all screwed up. What will death bring. My mind is a blank. My heart simply gone. I'm sitting here waiting. Deaths taking so long. 34 years.
