Not Fiction Anymore (TW for su!c!de and self-injury)



I used to think of suicide
As just a fairytale,
Completely convinced
That I would never do such a horror,
And that it was nothing to consider.
Now I cut and scare myself,
Knowing now I’ve not convinced myself
Of not doing such a terror,
So I shiver.
My fairytale thoughts
I have never dreamed of before,
Have come alive and I’m afraid.
Suicide has been
An option in my head
A lot of times before,
And suddenly I’m not convinced
That life has a strong grip on me.
Life might not be gripping me tightly enough
And suicide and death
Might only be moments away.
