My heart beats
Why can't it stop?
What did I do,
To deserve this?
I can't breathe
I can't think
I can't see
Don't want to live.
Why do I have
Such insane torture
This pain in my head
Will never leave.
I can't even try
To carry on
I just want
To leave.
Let me escape
This cage
That is my mind.
It has me trapped.
I am light-headed
My head is heavy
I can't feel my heart
My heart weighs me down.
My eyes are dryed up
My eyes are tearful
My lips are smiling
My lips are trembling.
My voice is loud
But it is nothingness
No one can hear my cry
Only my knife.
