Black Shadow
The black shadow holds me close.
Whispers promises in my ears.
I feel as if I'm on my tippy-toes.
Tip-toeing around my biggest fears.
To die is what I want and need.
But how I wonder?
The black shadow points to his tasteless seeds.
Pills. I sit and ponder.
To get rid of this pain would be nice.
I cry every night is what it feels.
I begin to play russian roulette with dice.
Whatever number it lands on, I take that many pills.
The black shadow lays me down.
I drift off into a deep sleep.
In my dreams, I begin to drown.
Never again to weep.
I feel like I'm dying slowly.
I always knew I'd go like this.
Extremely cold and very lonely.
My mom is going to be so pissed.
Not because the fact that I died
But more because I took HER pills.
Stupid bitch didn't even know how my emotions had me tied.
Just too damn worried about her fucking pills.
The black shadow is my only friend.
He's the only one who actually loved me.
Now hell is where we can be together, that's where I'm sent.
I'll marry my black shadow, the devil, and forever be free.

It's not bad, it's expressive - everything's there that should be emotion wise. Try and put it to a mundane event and there may be a higher hit point. Sometimes I find the most emotion in the least emotional things.

because I've tried to kill myself so many times, and have survived just to go through more pain and more joy.
But, that's what life is all about, isn't it?
Especially for those of us who are writers and artists and need to express ourselves instead of sitting in front of the television all day like worthless zombies.
