Sometimes, I would love nothing more than to die
A lot of the time, really
If you felt like this all the time
You would want to take your life, too
One word
That's all it takes
Then your mind is all you hear
Absolutely no escape

No escape

No escape

Visions of escape from the screaming cloud your thoughts
Suddenly, you're running down the school hallway
Away from them

Away from the girl who had no clue

About the edge you were on

You're in the bathroom
Tears dripping off of your jaw in pairs
Sliding down the cool, stone wall
Blood

Blood everywhere

On your hands, your clothing, staining your rusty razor blade

The screaming softens a bit
Euphoria
The color of soft blue fills your mind

Jacket on

Hands washed

Blade put away

Walking back

You realize what you did

Disappointment

Oh God, worse than last time

Your freshly sliced skin screams
Constantly reminding you
Can all you do
Is make mistakes?
You sit back down in class
Don't speak for a long time
But your mind is talking

Talking

Talking

Suicide

The word demands your attention

Screams

On and on
One word
That's all.
