This is All Too Much

Trigger Warnings: Self-Harm, Suicide

Feelings start to rise

I feel my head start spinning

I can't control my actions

This is all too much

"It's gonna be okay"

"We love you"

"If you need help, reach out"

This is all too much

I'm thinking ...

And thinking

This is all too much

The voices in my head

You won't do it, coward

No one wants you here anyway

This is all too much

They're right

They always win

This is all too much

I approach my restroom, turning on the shower

I reach for my best friend

The one who's always been there for me

This is all too much

It glistens in the dimly lit bathroom

Grey. My new favorite color

I put it up against my wrist

This is all too much

The first cut. Pure adrenaline

I go for a second, then a third

I lose count

This is all too much

I feel woozy

I'm seeing stars

This is it.

It's finally not too much.
