Tell me your pain
Too Late Suicide
I slit both wrists
and pray to God I drain slowly.
feel every vein in me
pump blood out of my body.
No fight left in me,
No reason to be,
So this is my last story.
I sit here,
legs stretched out in front of me
thinking of what life should be.
I'll use this forum of DU Poetry
To leave a piece of me.
I feel okay,
Just numb around wrist and the thumb.
My hearts beating a little fast
but nothing to be alarmed.
I've tried and failed and failed and tried, failed again
I'm just tired....
life hasn't been that good to me i must admit
It's gotten the best of me.
My head's feeling a little dizzy,
bare with me.
thoughts of all the things i should do instead of this,
Fuck my wrists hurt.
I took a minute to read
DUP's inspiring poems
and I must admit I'm inspired.
God, I feel so weak right now.
I've had a change of mind
I want to live
I want to try and see how best to turn my life around.
My eyes are shutting down.

As I Walk
Shadows may come and shadows may go,
But I know for sure what I need to sow,
I will reach for His word which is truth and the light,
As I walk in the shadows, straight into the fight.
With the shield of His Spirit I shall do what is right!
I will lift up His banner all shining and bright,
And all of God's children, shall join in His glorious light,
Hand in hand we shall rise up as One,
A Nation for God, under His Son.

Dark but devine
Like a noose around my neck, it constricts every breath.
And I hang like a wreck in the black eyes of death.
I must have dropped my purpose, maybe it lingers where I fell.
Or is it just below the surface in my version of hell?
I'm frightened for the ending, so I would never close the book.
So till then I'm pending, as I sway from this hook.
I hate the truth in this ink, for it holds depth beyond belief.
And at times I even think it's my only real relief.
Why can't I be conent? Make the broken pieces fit?
There's nothing more that I resent, as I remember to forget.
Should I hang here in suspense, what's a pulse without a brain?
I lack self defense, and it drives me insane.
I envy your peace, for I'm depleted of my own.
As if pain has signed a lease, this intruder calls me 'home'.
You can't destroy what's not created, so I guess that I'll be fine.
In fact I should have waited, for something more devine.

My Mother
My home has been scattered
In different houses
In different countries
My mother was the only person at my side
My home was in the blue eyes
Of my mother
Before she lost her mind
The different places
Always felt like home
When I’d crawl into her bed
But my home had a leak
Her eyes would rain down
On my cheeks
My young mind was confused
I’d hold her tightly
And say “please don’t cry, I love you”
Every night I’d listen to her sobs
My heart wrenching
I felt useless because I was young
When I grew older
Something in her changed
The blue from her eyes drained
She’d stare off at nothing
While I yelled and cried
Searching desperately for her mind
Her blue eyes
Have cried so many tears
They are now glazed over
My mother
She speaks from a distance
Her warmth has gone cold
In all the different countries and houses
My mother was all I had
But now her mind has shattered
And now my home is scattered
In different houses
In different countries
My mother was the only person at my side
My home was in the blue eyes
Of my mother
Before she lost her mind
The different places
Always felt like home
When I’d crawl into her bed
But my home had a leak
Her eyes would rain down
On my cheeks
My young mind was confused
I’d hold her tightly
And say “please don’t cry, I love you”
Every night I’d listen to her sobs
My heart wrenching
I felt useless because I was young
When I grew older
Something in her changed
The blue from her eyes drained
She’d stare off at nothing
While I yelled and cried
Searching desperately for her mind
Her blue eyes
Have cried so many tears
They are now glazed over
My mother
She speaks from a distance
Her warmth has gone cold
In all the different countries and houses
My mother was all I had
But now her mind has shattered
And now my home is scattered

In every moment of everyday
Sitting alone in a car park
Late at night
Rain on the windows
The droplets glistening
A soft glow of streetlights
A muted fuzz in the air
These thoughts plague me
You were it to me
The only thing I saw
But when I was close to you
I felt alone
I was alone because you did not understand or care
You kept demanding MORE
But you’d already taken everything
What was left?
My personality withered away under your pressure
What is there left to say
When you ripped apart my insides
Destroying everything I am
Causing pain that will haunt me for the rest of my life
There’s nothing to say
There’s nothing that will make the hurt go away
When you were here you’d cut through me everyday
A constantheadache demanding appeasement
You’d wear me down and take what you wanted
But it wasn’t enough
It was never enough
You always had to have more
More, more, more
It didn’t matter the cost
My life, my soul, my future
You had to have it all
My heart throbbing violently
You took it all
Now you’re gone
And I sit alone in desolate car parks
Humming that our youth is almost gone
Thinking about everything that went wrong
Did you remember that it was my birthday
Yesterday?
You’ve been gone for so long
And in every moment of everyday you taint my life
A shadow that bleeds
through the days
Painting the world black and grey
Late at night
Rain on the windows
The droplets glistening
A soft glow of streetlights
A muted fuzz in the air
These thoughts plague me
You were it to me
The only thing I saw
But when I was close to you
I felt alone
I was alone because you did not understand or care
You kept demanding MORE
But you’d already taken everything
What was left?
What is there left to say
When you ripped apart my insides
Destroying everything I am
Causing pain that will haunt me for the rest of my life
There’s nothing to say
There’s nothing that will make the hurt go away
When you were here you’d cut through me everyday
A constant
You’d wear me down and take what you wanted
But it wasn’t enough
It was never enough
You always had to have more
More, more, more
It didn’t matter the cost
My life, my soul, my future
You had to have it all
My heart throbbing violently
You took it all
Now you’re gone
And I sit alone in desolate car parks
Humming that our youth is almost gone
Thinking about everything that went wrong
Did you remember that it was my birthday
Yesterday?
You’ve been gone for so long
And in every moment of everyday you taint my life
A shadow that bleeds
through the days
Painting the world black and grey
