i see the blade,

the pills,

the rope…

who am i to have any hope?

they think im crazy but i know im not,

the escape was kind of easy,

especially with the help i got.

the voices told me what to do

and i did what they said,

all the time my suspicion grew.

but i trusted these voices in my head,

they always knew what was best,

the insane asylum was no place for me they said.

so now i sit here at the end of the bed.

the voices echoed “pick up the pills, my friend”

i do as they say and listen again.

“swallow them all and wait for your end”
