Yes.
I will let it take over me.
Yes.
I can see it.
Yes.
There will be a light at the end.
No.
The light will not be a happy ever after.
No.
The end to my pain will not come if I continue living.
No.*
I *cannot hold on any longer.

The End.

I can't speak.
I can't see.
I can't breathe.
The end is coming closer, caving in on me.
The pressure is too much to take.
The weight is crushing me.
The darkness is slowly sliding over me, and I will let it.
There will be an end.

I don't mind.

I don't mind,
I promise I'll be okay.
I don't mind,
I have no need for your sympathy.
I don't mind,
I really have nothing to say.
I don't mind,**
I can pretend you're not destroying me.

Monster in the Mirror

Ugly.
I will never be
beautiful.
I'm
useless.
It's a lie to say I am
going to make it.*
I am
Different from the other girls.
I am
not pretty.
Ugly.
I am not like them. They are
better.
My life will only get
worse.
I can't expect to get
My life in my hands.
It's time to end this, to take it.

If you read it bottom to top instead, it's a positive poem :)
