suicide



My brain rattles,
My body quakes.

My bones are brittle,
My muscles weak.

They shriek their words of terror,
With hateful names like "freak"

Im going crazy,
Ive sprung a leak.
My whole life's been tweaked.

Can't deal with stress,
My broken hearts a mess.
It feels like life's one big test.

My life's a mess,
I must confess.
These thoughts fill my mind like annoying pests.
I cant hold back,
I have to go...
I just wonder,
Will anyone know?

I pull it up,
I tense my grip,
And im left with eternal bliss.
