Catalyst

I am the catalyst of time;
built to last but easily broken.

I am the message in a bottle;
made with care but then lost at sea.

I am the transparent eyeball;
I see everything but no one sees me.

I am the weeping willow;
forever crying and never truely understood.

I am a lost dream;
a fantasy story that everyone loves but not amazing enough to be considered real.

I am my own broken heart;
I bleed out of my chest and smash out onto the ground.

I am a tattered soul;
murdered by false love, slowly being saved by a loving hand.

I am the sleeping pills;
meant to help people but usually used to kill them.

I am the knife's cold blade;
reflecting your faults as you cut them away.

I am the noose around my own neck;
dangling from the shaft, losing my last breath.

I am the bullet in the gun;
pressed to my head and about to pull the trigger.

I am the ghost;
of the girl that I use to be.

I am dead;
by no one's else's hands but my own.

I am the catalyst of time;
built to last but easily broken.

Cutter

In a dark room
Alone
with my thoughts
As my Mind
unwinds
and twists into
knots
Caught up
and tangled
I dangle
Unsafe
Struggling
to handle
this Battle
with Faith
I just want
to fall
and find out
for Myself
If I can
Evolve
without crying
for Help
Seeking advice
without saying a
Word
Risking this
Life
for a chance
to be Heard
I yell
I'm not crazy
as I continue to
Bleed
Don't try to save
Me
I want to be
Free
These wounds
can still take
Me
To where I should
Be
and no one can
Blame me
for wanting to
Leave...

another one if I may be allowed:

What consists of me
but hopes, dreams
and hatred for the
act of living?

The Maelstrom

Suicide is not a joyous release.
It's not beautiful or relaxed.
It's not poetic, red teardrops
falling in slow motion,
rolling rosy down waxy cheeks
all ready for the open-casket close-ups.
Juliet does not eulogize, audience captive.

it's a hundred
ragged breaths
screaming, gasping
holding your life
in your hands
begging yourself
not to do it
(not to do it!)
blood spattering dirty tile
running random
down arms
sliding fingers
slick with red
and shaking fierce
with adrenaline overload
surging through your ears
not wanting to do it
tearing the very
fibers of being
in the struggle
but telling yourself
heart in throat
swallowing bile
losing it again
retching, sobbing
get through it
get through it
and you'll find
what you want
nothing
there's no eloquence
just animal
instinct
against primal fear

suicide is an ugly
ugly truth
and it's not
giving up
or weakness
or fading away
it's the single
greatest
most courageous
act possible
and i pity the ones
strong enough

words...
such inconsequential things
meaningless for anyone too stupid
or careless to take heed of them
which apparently is most people in this day and time...
anyways, sorry for the rant
i am coming to you today to make an observation
about breathing
it seems a pointless endeavor to me
filling my lungs with polluted air
to achieve a few more seconds being
before, once again
you have to introduce such toxins
that the uneducated masses choose to
destroy themselves with on a daily bases...
pointless

so

i have decided

im going to stop

falling apart

bit by bit
inch by inch
i don't know it
but it's take my neck
and pulling me
closer and closer
to it's blade
sharp
with a distant scent of
metal
and blood
first from the wrist
the scalp
the ankle
and so on
but the pain
sends shivers
so pleasuring
to know
that I am so close
to leaving
a life
painted with
tears
and soiled by drips
of blood

my last breath of air
holds me together
but now
I

His Escape

An agonizing cry pierces through the cold, dead night
He cowers in a dark room holding his knife with all his might.
His hands quiver as they curl into tight fists
Arms burn as blood flows from his cut up wrists.
There's so much pain, anger, and strife
He's sick and tired of living this tormented life.
His hands are scarred from always punching his door
All he feels like doing is cutting, cutting, and cutting some more.
He's too familiar with seeing his own blood
Even now it pours out of his wounds like a slow dark flood.
Every tug results in more red tears
Every cut strips away more suffering, more fears.
Soon all that's left is a hollow, scarred shell
His body burns as if he'd been thrown into the fiery pits of hell.
He feels trapped, stuck in a bind
His room spins, he's starting to lose his mind.
"You're just no good" he tells himself with a frown
It's your own damn fault that you're feeling down.
He puts the grey steel once more against his wrist, it feels cold
Suddenly he feels fine, even a little bold.
He tugs with a confidence that he didn't have before
Ground rushes up to meet him as he hits the floor.
He sees the pool of blood stain the white sheet
Feels quite calm as his heart slowly stops to beat.
He lets go of his knife, lets out a relieved sigh
Closes his eyes and finally whispers goodbye.
