Suicidal

Folder: 
just me

Life is just not worth fighting for anymore

There is nothing left to live for

everything is falling apart and there is no end in sight



My grip on life is fragile

One small blow will tear it away forever



I am standing ashore watching the colossal waves of the ocean

the tsunami forms as I stand and wait

Despair clouds my features as I wait for it to engulf me.

Drowning me, crushing the breath from my lungs.

At least it will be over.

No more fighting.



I am perched percariously on the edge of a cliff

Blankly I stare downwards preparing for the final step

I embrace the coming pain

At least it will be over

No more thinking



My heart pulsates faster and faster in my chest

I stand poised a knife in hand

Invisioning the blood dripping down to the floor

my body going limp

At least it will be over

No more hopelessness



My knees quiver

The chair shakes

One small push and I will be choked

At least it will be over

No more sorrow



I lay in the middle of a vast plain

The sky above is so peacefull

All I have to do is wait

Death is near

At least it will be over

No more pain



It wouldn't matter if I did it

No one would even notice

These dark thoughts creep inside my skull

A broken record reapeating in time with my racing heart

Louder and louder they echo until I scream

Scream with all the anguish and torment and pain I am enduring



Slowly the thoughts receed.

I can breath again.

My heart begins to beat more normally

I am in control once more



A light shines on me and I know that I am not alone

If I give up now what would I miss?

A very dark day in my life when I felt like I was loosing my grip on life.

I've had my share of days like this. You capture it well.

Not all poetry is aesthetically happy-go-lucky, optimistic, or hopeful, sometimes raw negativity shares its place too. That's how life is. Quite in image here; made me see it all in the mind.
