My Grim Reaper
A restless sleep for me is a ritual
I have become accustomed to my nightmares
I can hear the bats swooping by my cracked window
The tree branches scratching at my window pane
I feel a strange presence in my small room
I roll over and open my eyes
The clock says 02:39
A creature draped in a tatted black cloak carrying a large scythe
A crow the black as the darkness of a night with no moon
Thin Skelton wings protruding from his back
From under the cloak a finger points towards me
I feel safe but also terrified
“Don’t be frightened
I know it is dark and lonely
Your Grim Reaper is here
Please don’t be scared
I will take you from this wretched life
I will not discard you, as others have
I am here to take you away
I will take
Take all you pain
All your sorrow
All you heartache
Will be my burden
All you have to do
Is touch my hand
I will fly off the abyss with you
Grad the blade and cut deep until you bleed
I will be with you when the blood dries
Take the pill,
Take as many as you need, I will help you
Tie the noose, I will show you how
It will all end with this one last act
I will help you
I am your Grim Reaper
I will take you to your final resting place”

I like this a lot, very well written. I hope writing helps to ease your burden and that you don't - take the pills - you have a great talent. Well done.
