I have never been this close
About to let myself go
Take my own life
And let myself die
I went to the basement
To ignore the harassment
That was coming from upstairs
But by then I didn’t care
Bleach in one hand
Holding my breath
Plugging my nose
And down it goes
It’s a sudden burn
My heart pounding
As the yelling fades away
My palms are sweaty
But I am ready
