Truth

Yes, Sometimes I get sad

Yes, Sometimes I wanna give up

And yes, sometimes I even wanna die

Sometimes the thoughts I have

Drive me crazy

Sometimes I think

I am going insane

Thinking thoughts

I’ve never thought

I could never

Go through with them

Hurting myself

That’s okay

I can learn

To be strong

But these thoughts

They need

To go away

I can feel myself

Slipping away

Farther into

The dark abyss

I am not strong

If I was

I wouldn’t feel

Like this

Please help me

Or better yet

Let me slip away

Into the void of darkness

I don’t want

To give up

But I want to die

I want this feeling

To go away

I feel like

Two different people

One person

Wants to die

To slip away

Into the darkness

The other

Knows life gets better

That it’s okay to live

The first one

The dark one

Is slowly

But surely

Getting stronger

This is what I feel

I know it’s wrong

But I don’t know

How to feel

Anything else

I’m sorry 

Fire, Blood, and Madness

The world will end this very night
In screams and flames and bloody fright
The devil will rear his ugly head
And everyone will wind up dead

Just past midnight I heard a noise
It started out soft, and got louder as it destroyed
The flames of hell bring their demons to play
Like a lion devouring its prey

I lay in bed with the covers to my nose
Shivering in the heat as the shadows impose
They grow larger as they contort
Making me scream, to them this is a sport

I close my eyes and wish them gone
Hoping I will make it till dawn
But when I dare to look again
I feel a sharp and shooting pain

The shadows have grown claws,

Closing them around my wrist
they feed on my blood,

Enjoying the taste

I scream out in fear
but no one can hear

the world is on fire
The situation is dire

One last swipe of the claws,

 This laceration made too deep
I fall from my bed, rousing from my sleep

The tears kiss my face in a steady stream

Sweat drips from my forehead,

My breath deep and frantic

I look at my wrist where the blood flows hard

And I know I will never make it

To see tomorrow’s dawn
