Optimal Paradox

Contradicting yourself is ever so obvious

     And the thoughts in my head are ever so ominous

And what shall I do when those thoughts turn to fury

Don't wanna think about dying but those thoughts do it for me

Wishing to die is like making a wish on a star

It never comes true 'cause that attempt only goes so far

Wake up in the hospital with only one thought on your brain

Why didn't work, I'm tired of the pain

The thoughts in my head hold all the authority

They don't want me alive, they want to destroy me

They want me to die, they are my leader

So I cut open my wrist and hope I leak out a liter

So close to death, hoping all my blood drains

No one will miss me so just dump my body and really hope it rains

Wash away the evidence and wash the blood stains

Now they'll say here lies a mistake who exaggerated her pain

But yet again my dreams don't come true

They found me once again and now the attempt is something I'll forever rue

The voices in head say you reap what you sow

I'm still not dead yet, now I'm at my all time low

I'll get out again and maybe this time it'll work

I cut a little deeper this time and that's when I see the demons lurk

I Think my time has come, I'm sorry if anyone gets hurt

I'm gone, and all of my pain got swallowed

I've finally been able to feel what it's like to not be hollow

Death was my fantasy

The voices are gone now, and I'm happier you see...

I actually can't believe I wrote this since I haven't been up to par with my poetry. It's been a minute. So I hope it's good. This was supposed to be hinted as Sonya's thoughts. But thank you for the reads and votes! Love y'all ❤️
