Fading Away

Release me from the pains of the world.
Leave me alone as I lay curled
Up and crying on the bedroom floor.
I do not want to feel anything anymore.
Just let me poke and cut until every vein
Is bleeding all over the place. The crane
In the sky is taking me away from this place.
Everything that I used to want to trace
With child like wonder and curiosity
Is now spinning at a high velocity.
I no longer feel like I belong here.
All I want is to be forgotten and disappear
Like the sun does at the end of the day.
I want to fade away like every gray
Sky. Not even the rain can mask
The blood dripping. All I can ever ask
For is understanding although nobody
Could ever comprehend suicide or me.
