Mental and Physical Selficide

The indecisive and suicidal child thinks... An early piece.

Mental And Physical Selficide

A poem by Alejandro Manuel Espinoza

 

The secrecy of sin ultimately gives way to divine retribution

Extreme sorrow and rage is bestowed upon the sinner

Guilt is but another catheter lodged in my mind

 

Nevertheless… I know this is my fault

I contemplate running this razor across my wrists

And watching my blood leak out as my vision fades

 

It’s almost perfect… and I think about it with a half-open mouth

I feel the blades sharpness already as I press it against my veins

All I really have to do is move it down my arm

And in a few minutes it will all be over

 

Hmmm….it’s taking too long to decide

I’ll delay my death for a little while longer

I just can’t do it

Even though I tell myself I want to
