Sometimes i slit my wrist to relive the pain
but a scar is the only thing i gain
as the blood drips to the floor
people rush though the door
but they came to late
because i let death be my fate
as they call 911
my life was already done
i look at myself lying in the bed
they clean my body from which it bled
i see people crying over me dying
i guess my friend where right, they werent lying
they said if i tried i would succeed
and i would lose all the people i need
i dont really want death to be
i just wanted to relieve the pain inside of me
they are at the funeral now, with the hole in the ground
crying was the only thing heard, no other sound
now they lower my casket into the grave
i wish i was still alive, nut my life they couldnt save
i am gone now and forever more
and everyone knows that for sure
my life could have been a good one
but i will never know because my life is done
Absolutely LOVE this poem, so poignant, and beautifully written. I can relate to it too, as I myself have attempted suicide many times (I must be crap at it tho cos I've never succeeded! Which I'm glad about now cos I'm no longer depressed and can honestly say I now love my life).
I will try to take a look at some of your other poems sometime, when I get a chance I will but I lead a VERY busy life these days.
Take care,
