I breathed in
the toxic chemicals.
Drank the poison
I have poured in my own glass.
I drank and breathed
all night long.

I was wasting away.

Rotting.

Decaying.

Dying.

I shivered and cried
tears of agony.

I don't want to die!

I wanted to blame
someone, anyone.

Yet I know,
that no one is to blame,
That it is I,
Is the one who is killing
myself.

I need to be saved
from myself.
