I close my eyes and pray for death to find me
I make a silent prayer that my next breath be my last
I lay down to sleep and hope I get lost in the darkness forever
But each morning I wake up into a nightmare
Just another pointless day I have to go through
No one knows the pain I hide behind every smile
That the tears I cry when I laugh have been there a long time
Waiting to come out
I long to be free
Free of all this emotion, this pain
The voices just keep getting louder
My mind is no longer a safe place to hide
My thoughts torture me
My memories taunt me
My dreams laugh at me
The shadows are calling
The seductive night reaches out to me
Peace is beyond the veil
But I stand here behind the curtains
Afraid of what lies ahead
Or if there's anything at all
Moments pass and death stretches out her hand
In her eyes I see a promise of a better life
If only I just let go
I have made many choices all through my lifetime
Now only one more remains
To live, or not to live....

PoetryThis is for all those who know the feeling Of scars and bruises not healing And though your body is willing Your soul's still stuck bleeding.
