PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I have learned, in and through life,

that there are some things I simply

cannot…will not…should not……



I should not have been born.



There would have been less pain.

There would have been less tear.

There would have been less worn.



I cannot control my depressive bouts.



I should have had more time.

I should have grown within.

I should have taken a different route.



I will not die.



I have bled my wrist.

I have felt death’s kiss.

I have nothing left inside.



I should not have tasted suicide.



I would not have felt betrayed.

I would not have given up.

I do not have time to bide.



I cannot control what I feel.



I should have taken the chance.

I should have told him.

I should know that nothing’s real.



I will not give in to you.



I can only be myself.

I can be nobody else.

I could care less if you knew.



I should not have let you take control.



I would not have fallen victim.

I would not be reduced to this.

I would not be so cold.



I cannot redeem myself.



I should not have lived for you.

I should not have died for you.

I should have loved someone else.



I will not save you…



You cannot be saved…

You’re too far astray…

But that? I already knew.
