My Disagreeable Task

Lately I haven't been feeling my best so here's kinda a depressing poem...

~~~

Red tears streak and stain,

My mind it will detain.

With arms painted black,

I will leave, I will pack. 

Needed is a well used blade,

Will anyone come to my aid?

But no one cares, not even myself,

I have left all the good on the shelf.

All that remains: the darkness that consumes,

Soon there will be a new patch among the tombs.

Not one person read through the mask,

For that I have a disagreeable task;

To kill oneself is a mighty sin,

But I'd rather not continue in this skin. 

Body aflame,

I will aim,

And hope not to hurt victims of my crime.

But now it is nearing the time,

And the night itself is starry,

Oh, am I dreadfully sorry.
