I want to **** myself
Everyday
Every hour
Every second
And yet I haven't
Because every time the thought occurs
The aftermath seems to play out in my head
I don't want to be
the acknowledgment at the beginning
of a book i'll never read
to my sister
to my friend
to my lover
gone to soon
i wish you could read this
I don't want to be
the sad news story that everyone hears
and wishes it weren't real
a 17 year old
young and bright
lots of friends
left behind family
greatly missed amongst us all
I don't want to break
my already broken family
even if they are breaking me
lost a sister
lost a cousin
lost a daughter
sadness engulfs them all
two families split back to four
I want to leave
And I'll never believe
The world loves me so much
That it will stop in place
Because I take my life
But even if
It's only half the truth
This idea of the aftermath
That would occur
Should I stop my breathing
I'll keep breathing
In
Out
In
Out
Just to see the world continue turning
-r.y.s
If things never get better for me, at least I never made them worse for those around me.
