Survivor

I slide the blade across my skin

Watching for the red droplets

To ooze out slowly, agonizingly so

But I'll never go too far

Never far enough to end it all forever

If I kill myself, I'll miss out on the world

I'll never find someone

Who loves me for me

I'll never know what it's like

To finally be free

I want to make it go away

The pain, inside and out

I want to leave this awful place

Of misery and conformity

I want to jump or slice or bang!

But that would be pointless

Why end it all for me

When I could end other people's pain

When I could help those who go through the same thoughts

So I will not give in to society

I will not let them beat me down

I am a survivor
