Suicide

Suicide

A Poem by Christopher Paul

A razor blade to the wrist
Cold steel on warm flesh
That nervous feeling
Brought to ease with a deep breath

One swift move of the hand
The skin tears apart
Blood flows out
Tears begin to start

Feelings overflow
As the heart beats fast
One look at the blood
Memories of the past

The past that shaped today's present
The past that lead to this depression
The past one tries to escape
The past due to which
This decision was made

The red liquid flows
Like a river along the skin
Breath starts to slow
As pain starts to begin

But what to pain 
To one who has only suffered
For him, even in death there is a gain
Peace is discovered

When one can no longer fight
All the demons within
When one is deprived
Form all that is right
Ever since he was a child
When years go by
And nothing changes
No matter how hard one tries
Then the soul wears thin
And the heart slowly dies
After all this pain and suffering
One finds his only way out 
Is suicide

I know that feeling. I've been there. Sounds like you have too.

Too easy, someone who would take the time a flow would know it was a cut for knot.

Heart breaking, yet beautiful. I know these feelings all too well, and I wonder if you yourself may know this firsthand? Either way, good write. Keep it up
