His Final Goodbye

by Weird Emo   Feb 4, 2014


Burnt like charcoal, worn like tar, cut after cut, scar after scar. His heart caves in, he's losing hope, he's lost his mind, he can no longer cope. He's all alone and pushes people away, he wants them to show that they care enough to stay. He's unloved and broken, he's scared and depressed, his smile is fake and his laugh is hollow, but you wouldn't have guessed. He fights a war with his every thought, but even he knows that it's all for naught. Today is the day he had finally had enough, he didn't know life would be this tough. So he took his razor and slit his wrist, he already knew that he wouldn't be missed. But right when he was about to die, he whispered his last goodbye. "I'm so sorry that I couldn't make you proud of me, they told me I was worthless and even I agree. I tried to hold on, I tried so hard, but all I've ever been was something to discard. I tried to keep going for the ones I hold dear, I'm stunned that I even lasted another year." one he had finished, he took his last breath, and finally gave in to the sweet embrace of death...

    Oh my...this is absolutely dreadful but I love it. I love how it flowed, I love the choice of words, and I love how much I can relate to it. Some people do not realize how much depression can get to us. Put on a smile and act like everything is fine, that used to be my every day routine. People used to say, "Hey there is that Emo Freak!" Yes I used to cut but not on my wrists. I didn't want people to know about it so I would do it on my thighs. One day at school the blood seeped through my pants and everyone figured it out. I got put into counseling and had all of my blades taken away...best thing they have ever done. Thanks to friends and family I no longer think suicide is the answer. Yes at times I think I can't go on anymore but then I look at my loved ones and realize that I can carry on. I love this poem and thank you so much for allowing me to read it. 5/5 from me. :)
