I want is to die.
And not like I failed my math test or my boyfriend broke up with me die.
Or not even die when you feel the blood rush to your cheeks because you'd never been more embarrassed.
But die as in I no longer want to live and no longer feel guilt because of it.
Because this earth has nothing for me left and nothing it can say to keep me.
I want to feel my last breath burn my lungs as it slips through my lips and into the earths air never to be found again.
I want to feel my heart beat slow and forever stop cold and empty in my chest.
Humans are born with this fear of death etched into their bones but I don't think I was born with such a gift because I honestly can't think of a beautiful thought than to die.
Its not because I refuse to see the beautiful, little things in life because I've been surrounded by beautiful bright lights at night, even experienced love with the kindest of souls.
But even that sometimes is not enough.
People have told be its selfish to end my life but I think its just as selfish to keep someone here when they don't wish to be.
And people have told me its cowardly to **** myself but sending yourself to an unknown place with unknown consiquences seems pretty brave to me.
And so we get back to there's nothing you can do or say to save me.
Well I never asked to be saved and I see no reason to be.
I welcome death.

You used to be a lover
With the most emotional eyes
And as much as you loved
You couldn't blur the feeling of wanting to die
With tear stained cheeks and demons in your head
You thought it'd be better for all if you were dead

You used to be a talented with an eye for beauty
Although I could never find what you saw in me
With a pencil to paper or a camera to your eyes
It was clear the pain wouldn't suffice

You used to be an adventurer to far and beyond
Even inside others heads to find out what was wrong
But one stormy day you took a final step
What greater adventure is there that death?

I cut my skin in patterns to feel something again
which some find disgusting and others can't comprehend
but let me tell you this when you ask about my scars again
at least my razor blades know how my day went

And as the leaves fall from the trees
I continue to fall apart
And as the weather gets colder
so does my heart
And as the rain pours down
I feel myself sink
I've been left bare
as the trees soon will be

I walk the paths you once did
And lay in your spot in my bed
My mind cant help but wonder
if you will return again

Some of my belongings smell of you still
thoughts of you continue to linger in my head
but when will you be back my love
To see I'm alone again

You left me because I was sad
but I was only sad because you left me
a vicious circle of intense feelings
they never seem to leave

I sigh today for the hundredth time
hopefully things will come together
but until then my love
I''ll have to endure the weather.

Today I thought of something that would make you smile
To only feel my heart dropped when I realized I never could
Today I stared at the clock and tried to push it back
Maybe I could be with you again if it would
Today I looked at the telephone thinking of a call I should make
But soon realized I never can
Today I stared at my scars
And questioned if you'd still love who I am

I was told from day one I didn't have to be perfect
I just had to be me
Which was a complete lie
Because I would get scolded and yelled at
Time and time again
For simple mistakes
Or worse
Just being myself
I couldn't even understand what it was I did wrong
And I would apologize
For not being perfect
And they lie to me again
By saying I didnt have to be perfect
Nor did they expect me to be
But everytime something went wrong
The fault was mine
And trust me I would willingly take it if it was
But it wasn't
So again I would apologize for not being perfect
Which made it worse
I guess perfect people aren't supposed to say sorry for not being perfect
Do you see how I'm trapped here?
Expectations so high a space shuttle couldnt get you there
So what was I to do?
Oh right
I was to be perfect
More of an angry rant, sorry
