Gone

I'm sorry.

I think tonight might be it 

I feel so numb in my finger tips  

Blood is dripping down my wrists 

Whispers are telling me to commit 

I cut and drink and cut some more  

The voices grow loud 

They're something I cannot ignore 

I don't want to be here anymore 

Tears stroll down my pale face 

Adding salty water to the dripping race 

Down to the floor they fall

I hear voices in the halls 

Unjustified fear flows through my veins  

Pulsing paranoia through heart and brain  

I need a way out 

There's too much to take in 

Deep cuts just won't do 

Time to bring my belt in too 

Put it gently around my neck  

Tie it off to my closets bars 

Lean forward 

Soon my soul will be with the stars

Don't apologize for dark writing, better on the paper than made reality. This was chilling, and you conveyed the desperation of the situation well. The off-again, on-again rhyme added to that sensation of being in a drunken, hopeless haze
I'm sorry you're hurting like this kid, and I hope you find peace. This was a well written poem though. Nice name change by the way, any particular meaning to it?

[Alexandra Hounschell]

It's the name of a character I have. And sadly it's getting closer to being a reality because I'm driving myself insane. I'm glad you enjoyed all the emotion I poured into this.

It's a cool name. I'm here if you wanna talk to someone kid.

I know. Thank you

This is really dark. I don't know what inspired such a poem but I really hope everything is fine. The emotions from this poem are really haunting.

Well being as that the author of this is in the hospital for a very bad thing, she's obviously not okay. It happened last night so she won't return for a few days at least. I assume she would hope that you enjoyed this or whatnot

Quite like the dark side of life. People cut for all sorts of reasons, only that person knows why. But the most powerful outlet is writing, and you do it well.
