Again I try to Leave this life behind
Down the wrist I run the blade
As the blood runs down my arms
I close my eyes to accept what’s to come
As the seconds turn to minutes
I open my eyes only to see that the cuts have vanished
And my arms are stained with blood
I try and try to end this life of mine but each time
I am rejected by death.
Oh believe me I know EXACTLY how you feel in this poem - I have tried MANY times to end my life due to the episodes of depression I suffer from thanx to my manic depression, but THANKFULLY (and I can say that now) I obviously never succeeded. Perhaps when we get chatting sometime we can discuss our feelings and failed suicide attempts - it always helps to have someone to talk to who knows EXACTLY where you're coming from.
Anyway, it's EVEN LATER now so I really MUST shoot on to bed, I just couldn't resist reading and critiquing another piece of your poetry before going to bed.
'Night-'night,
