Taking A Breath, My Attempt At Suicide

by Illusion   Aug 9, 2005


Among the ignored,
Among the betrayed,
My meaning in this life,
Is beginning to fade.

Tears stream down my cheeks,
Sorrow fills the air,
I don't take a breath,
I don't even dare.

Every time I take a breath,
Life is proving that its great,
But I'm the kind of person,
That likes to choose her own fate.

Tears in my eyes,
And no one seems to care,
Cries in my soul,
And no one even knows that I'm there.

Depressed and lonely,
Filled with sorrow,
Empty and cold,
Dreading tomorrow.

I hate coming home,
I hate being here,
My life is going to stay this way
Is what I most fear.

I fear life,
It is cold and scary,
It has haunted me,
A living nightmare I have carried.

Life is nothing,
We've never gotten along,
Every time I try,
Something goes wrong.

I try to hold my breath,
But, life controls me,
I finally have to gasp in air,
I hate when it proves to me.

One day I couldn't handle it,
I walked to my room,
Then took out a pen and paper,
To write my letter of doom.

I sat and wrote my heart out,
And told everyone why,
That I hated life,
I couldn't stand it. I had to die.

I slowly opened the drawer,
And took out a clean sharp knife,
I couldn't wait,
Over is my life.

I pressed it into my arm,
And a steady flow of blood ran down,
Hours later,
My bloody body was found.

    Oh...I'm so sorry this is true. Does that sound corny??? I don't care about that because I really am sorry that this happened to you. I've never had the courage to go down deep enough but I don't know if I want to die that way anyways. Something easier....a gun or something....something...

    5/5!!!

    Excellent poem. Keep it up.

    Check out some of my poems if you can. Really appreciate that.
