It’s the cowards way out,
But I’m so tired of being strong.
It’s hard living everyday,
Wanting only to break down.

It’s a sin says mom,
It’s an illness says dad.
And my little baby brother,
Can’t help but give a frown.

I want to be perfect,
Someone people like.
But I’m such a tangled mess,
That can’t do anything right.

Pills will fix the problem,
Says my best friend one day.
But I wonder if she knows
What I think of every night.

I don’t have marks on my arms,
And I haven’t tried a million times.
But I look at every knife and ledge,
And lake wanting to drown.
I tried desperately to convey my thought into words. I’m not entirely sure anyone will be able to understand what I’m getting at. I’m so jealous of poets who can put metaphors, similes, personification, excreta into their writing without a second thought. I debated whether or not to try and slip some in, but decided that I wanted the thoughts to be fairly simple.

Or maybe that’s just an excuse. :paranoid:

I decided not to put a Mature Warning because in seeing the title you should have already been warned. Suicide is not a K rated subject, and if you expected as such, get some empathy.

Honestly I feel the same way. The thought of stopping my pain and anxiety once and for all has always been a thought in my mind.
I never had the courage to actually do it, but this same thought never leaves me alone.
