Seeing the other side has never seemed so closer, before now.
I just want to die.
Knowing that I won't be here anymore, hasn't seemed so delightful, the way it does now.
Please, someone save me.
I run away from myself, fearing what I may do next.
I just want to die.
I live in a shallow, hallow world with people who just don't give a damn.
Lord, take me now.
Death is my biggest fear, but everyone, sometimes, has to face their fears.
I just want to die.
I'd rather be in pain physically then to live another life inside of my mind.
Such a dangerous place.
It's crowded with darkness and lined with self-hatred.
I just want to die.
The most comfortable place for my hands is around my neck.
Someone, make it stop.
Everyone claims that they care, but no one really does.
I can't do this anymore.
I give myself agonizing headaches from the screaming inside my mind.
Louder and louder, each time.
How can someone, so full of life, wish for it all to end?
I just want to die.
Each time I bleed, I beg for it to pour.
Put me out of my misery.
Memories I wish to erase, haunt me day after day.
I just want to die.
I can't explain it anymore, to be honest, I don't even think I want to.
It will all be over soon.
Tired of the pain, neglect, and agony, my life is no longer worth living.
I just want to die.
Too many times, I have been hurt in this life.
Make it all just stop.
I wish to be free and able to escape my inner demons.
I just want to die.
Something triggers.
What's going on?
I realize, it is time for me to do the one thing I never thought I would do.
I just want to die.
Finally, I gain enough courage.
This is it.
I finally, feel the need to take my own life.
I just want to die.
In a flash, I race to the kitchen and grab the biggest knife I saw.
Finally, a dream come true.
I sneak past everyone, quite like a sly fox.
I just want to die.
I approach the bathroom, casually, just like I would any other time.
Almost there.
Finally in my safe place, I lock the door and begin to run the bath water.
I just want to die.
I strip myself of all clothing and gently get in.
The water is nice.
Tears stream down my face, but I know what as to be done.
I just want to die.
I press the blade to the skin of my wrist, feeling the pain.
Someone, please barge in.
I make a small incision, but that is all I can make.
I just want to die.
As much as I want to go, I know it isn't my time.
Fine, I'll stay.
I'll deal with the pain.
It was worth a try.
I'll deal with the emotional, physical, and mental stress.
I just want to die.
I turn the water off and put my clothes back on.
Maybe, some other time.
Something I wanted to do, I don't have enough of courage to complete the task.
I just want to die.
I walk to my room and place the knife under my pillow.
Who knows.
I lay down on my bed, head resting against the pillow.
I just want to die.
I hear the people in other rooms arguing, cursing the violent words.
Here we go again.
I begin to cry, but I just lie there....
wanting to die.
