Analysis of Goodbye
Gabby Everett 2000 (Tennessee)
Broken pieces lie within.
Like shattered glass that has pierced the skin.
A painful thought but you feel nothing.
You’re use to all the pain and suffering.
Any emotion that comes to mind, you push down, deep inside.
Nothing phases you any longer.
Every moment you grow stronger and stronger.
Until the sun sets and you lie to sleep.
All alone.
Under your sheets.
Close your eyes
but all you see
is yourself drowning in the sadness
that seems to never leave.
Depression has entered.
Insomnia hits.
Your only escape from reality has vanished.
You replenish your thoughts, now once more…
You can’t get out of this nightmare of horror.
All your insecurities screaming at you.
nowhere to turn and no one to ask
For help to get out of this shattering glass
You’re left alone to pick yourself up.
But what’s the point when you’re never enough?
That is the point.
None at all.
There is no reason for you to go on.
So this is the end I’m sorry to do this.
But I have no one and I can’t take it.
I can’t bare the pain of this pointless life.
I’m sorry to all, that I ended it tonight
