As the days pass slowly
And the weeks creep by
I find myself obsessing
About ways that I can die

I lay awake at night
Thinking of my pain
There's no way it will get better
I have nothing left to gain

Suddenly thoughts of death
Are controlling my every move
And every battle with my mind
I always seem to lose

I cut my arms with razor blades
To dull the pain inside
But that only lasts so long
I dont want to be alive

I manage to keep my composure
When people are around
They dont understand me
So I dont make a sound

So I make a plan to take some pills
It shouldn't take too long
I write letters to my friends
Asking them to understand that it's just too hard to go on

I plan it out so perfectly
I even set the date
I'm pretty sure that I am ready
This is my fate

As I take them one by one
I start to feel a little scared
I know I'm almost done

My eyes are getting heavy
My body is numb
I call for help but no one hears
This is the way it has to be.

I like it and understand how you feel because I felt like this many times. But in reality you don't want to die because if you did you'd be dead. Good write though.

I like it. It cries out for attention you know it will never get.

You caught me in the first stanza and still haven't quite let go. This gutwrenching feeling that surround my auroa and my heart aren't likley to cease. ~Heather
