Sleep.

I take the pills, to fall asleep.

Hoping-praying, never to wake.

 

Forgotten, abandoned, left behind.

It hurts so bad, I've lost my mind.

 

I can't continue on this way.

I have to make it stop today.

 

One by one, as they go down.

Silently, without a sound.

 

My life it slowly fades away.

Vision turns to shades of gray.

 

Is this it, is it done?

Maybe I should have used a gun?

 

Awakened in a panicked rush, hands are tied.

The pain is too much.

 

Something blocks the air I breathe.

Needles, restraints, and all these IVs.

 

I rip, and pull and rip some more.

Throwing, screaming, bleeding more.

 

Guess I didn't do it.

Don't have the courage to try again.

 

I'll have to stick it out.

And live.

Very nice read frozen! It was an emotionally intense writeup!
