A Mental Note from Another Broken SoulA Poem by Mark VerndickHere I am once again Lying in this familiar room Getting used to the faint smell of socks and dried tears Reminding me who I was for the past three years While being swallowed wholly by the roof that seems so low Buried deeply by the floor tainted with pain and sorrow Trapped by the walls that was too crowded for two Toxicated lungs by the air that gets through Lost with the thoughts I had More bewildered by the emotions that had driven me mad Drained with the strength to hold myself together Knowing that I will fall apart anyway Any moment, any time, any place today Waited for so long to carve the words into my wrists For the moment of admittance and acceptance of defeat After series and series of incessant personal struggles After all, I've decided to end it where the journey all started With a blade in hand, a pen and note behind Inside the room which had been a witness Of how I helplessly let the thoughts turn my mind to a mess As I made a stroke and another of its kind It came out beautiful, unexpectedly Enough to let me close my eyes permanently With a smile etched on my ungrateful soul And eternal peace engulfed me whole. © 2015 Mark Verndick |
