Stare as the red from my veins cry

by Tripp   Oct 19, 2007


Why does it happen, why does it go
why does it seem like my heart is so slow
Why don't you talk, why don't you speak
why does a glance make me feel weak

My wall of willpower is falling down upon me
"I want to die" echoes in my head strongly
Each step I take is harder than the last
painfully reminiscing on the times that have passed

Every yesterday seems better than tomorrow
every new day brings more sorrow
I don't know what to do, I'm down and out
what used to be confidence is now instead doubt

I don't wanna go, and I don't wanna stay
I don't wanna deal with another goddamn day
I'm done with it all, I just can't cope
I'm leaving this place that has no hope

Endless misery, bottomless apathy
words that are synonymous with me
I just can't stand it, I can't keep going
I'm ending it, this blood won't stop flowing

I'll bleed out, bleed until I run dry
stare at the red that my veins cry
exultation, simultaneous self execution
I know where I'm going, there's no retribution

Darkness fading in
existence fading out
I know this was right
without a goddamn doubt

    So, basically we use to talk on this site like 2 years ago.
    im not sure if you remember me, but i remember you.

    anyways...
    just wanted to let you know that i feel the same way about everything.
    this poem describes me.
    depression, anorexia, cutting, suicidal feelings... everything i have/am going through.

    you're not alone.
    good job, keep it up.
    writing things keeps me going through each day as i'm sure it does you.
    good job.

    I always enjoy reading your poems because your style no matter what topic of poem is always poetic. The flow is great and so is the word choice - Excellent job with this piece 5/5 GG23

    Tripp, your my favourite

    hands down

    take the audiences mind to the brink of your sanity

    then watch them tumble down beside you

    to dream this isnt true..

    would jus be lying to oneself

    are you ok?

    love niquee
