Dear Ana

Dear Ana,

I'm tired of crying inside
Tired of fighting my own mind
And denying  the truth

I'm done with crashing waves
Done with dancing on graves
And waiting for something great

But beyond the rehearsed act
Inside cages of organs raped of courage
Wept hidden tears

A mask to disguise
Self-hatred inside
Coping by a knife
And letting go of life

When did this all get so hard?
When did laughter
Become a challenge?
A sign of danger?
Of doubt?

A single choice,
A flick of a blade,
Death awaits
But I'm too afraid

Darkness is closing in
As I reach for a hand
Will this help be genuine
Or will I begin to descend

Will you let her in?

Will you give me peace?

Let her save me from ruins

As everything ceases
