Realization

I had a terrifying realization last night.
I've always thought that suicide
Was the last step
Of self destruction;
That I'd have to be slitting my wrists
Starving my body
And loosing interest in everything
Before I'd get close to that.
But my realization was
I could just take too many pills
And be done with it
Without all the other pain
In between
Now my mind is in ruins
And my stomach is churning
Because those limits I set in my head
Are crumbling away
And death
Has never felt closer
Than it does today
