Saved

by Tyrell Harris   Apr 6, 2014


I cut my wrist to numb the pain
to rid my soul of this sorrow, the abuse, the anger
the lies, the pressure, the guilt, the lost happiness

I filled my veins and lungs with the poison
hoping each day it will kill me just like life done to me
with their neglect, ignoring attitudes

I reach out for help to only be slapped away
by my teachers, my friends, my family, my neighbors, and my love ones
I sit in the crossroads shaking and trembling
from my aching of my breaking heart of remembering

"No More" was whispered in my ear from a calming voice
alone and scared, I look around to only see the empty darkness
a hand is placed on my shoulder, I feel the heartbeat
through the fingertips, the same beats as mine

A tear falls down my face as I knew who came to my rescue
He has watched me, and protected me
He open my eyes and enlighten me deeply
This is my Journal of my life

I'm free and forgiven of all my sins
This was the day I was saved.
