Suicide's voice (trigger warning)

by Obscure   May 12, 2020


When you don't wanna wake up tomorrow
It's hard to work today
Cause no matter what you've ever done
It's never quite okay
And all those sunsets viewed
Remain a spark that fades so fast
When memories mean the most to you
You find nothing really lasts
This heavy ache hangs lonely
For there's nothing else to feel
All the things you cared about
No longer feel so real
And friends and family seem to be
detached and far away
They're better off without you
So why bother trying to stay?
You know the world is cruel
But you are making it that way
How could you be fooled
By the kind words your friends all say
You know they only say that
Till the chance your back is turned
And then they all regret
the wasted time you quickly burned
You grasping fool, You hated liar
Destined for a funeral pyre
Give in and give your life away
It's so much better than if you stay
The tears are tugging at your eyes
There's no one here to see you cry
What if you slipped and said goodbye?
There's no one there, they'd be alright
What if you stayed? That's not okay
And if you go? They'll say good show
But what about your hopes and dreams?
They're stillborn, never heard nor seen
Is there a way to fix this mess?
Yes, come with me, I know what's best
If you leave all the world behind
I'll take away what's on your mind
And no more will your eyes behold
A stranger's glare in winter's cold
Your voice will silent, lay to rest
And from your words, none will be blessed
Your body cold and pale will lay
Under the frozen, rotting clay
And you will have no power here
Your deeds all done, your fears all feared
And when your name is said the last
You will receive all that you asked
For you did wish to disappear
Shed all your pain and face your fear
What better way to leave this land
Now follow through, just take my hand.

    It is so hard when that inner voice is your worse enemy. All the doubts creep in and it's why bother. But you do matter! We are all here for a reason and sometimes that reason hasn't been known to us yet. Hugs you-
