What does someone who fears death,

But constantly thinks about killing themselves look like?

I always wondered what way I could drawl this out on paper,

But no art came to mind.

Then one day I passed by the mirror with my pencil and paper,

And I realized that person looks like,

Me.


I tried to drawl myself, but the pencil refused to drawl such a horrific being.

It knew nobody would want to see the sight of someone who's living,

But slowly decaying right before their eyes.

And after so many tries, I finally drew something.

But it didn't represent the person I see,

Because what I drew was someone I wish I was,

Someone who I always wanted to be.

Then I looked up from my drawling and into the mirror,

And disappointment was filled within me.


As I walked away from my mirror, death retook my mind.

Though this time, I wasn't fighting those thoughts anymore.

The pure hatred I have for myself has reached the brim,

And is now beginning to overflow,

So I must put this to an end,

Because I'm afraid if it spills, it might infect my family and the people I use to consider friends,

And I don't want them to suffer the same thing I have to suffer,

Day in and day out, over and over again.

I don't know if this is my final goodbye,

But if it is then I'm sorry you had to witness this.

But trust me when I say this,

Its better for my life to finally come to an end.
