DISGRACE

I have this urge to let you know,

This "sweet" facade is all for show,

I can't play pretend anymore,

Can't leave my troubles out the door.

-

My laughter has a sudden break,

It's building up more than I can take,

My hands now constantly shake,

At the thought of the decision I'll make.

-

So I write and I write to get out of my head,

But it doesn't seem to work so now I dread,

How to cope with the toxic that's beginning to spread,

About the life I've lead.

-

Sanity left with a trailing blaze,

My once sound mind is now a dark maze,

My eyes are unfocused, a lifeless gaze,

One step forward is two steps back, I realize in a daze.

-

My parents simply laugh at me,

"It's just a phase, just leave her be,"

I tried to tell them silently,

I'm trapped inside and can't be freed.

-

My friends leave when they figure out,

I have no worth and have no doubt,

That if I were to leave, take a different route,

They will all relish in their smiles, jubilant shouts.

-

I often think about my death,

About my last moment, my final breath,

How all of you will gather to joke and jest,

On my pathetically short life I put to rest.

-

If I weren't a coward I'd do the dark deed,

No one gives a fuck no matter how much I plead,

Screaming and begging to notice me,

To take heed of my words not watch while I bleed.

-

But it's too late now for hope and faith,

Should God see me now I'd be a disgrace,

Upon Him and hell I'll ultimately face,

For my sinful thoughts can not be erased.
