The slash marks, in my wrist, Shine so red under the lights. But they feel, so inadequate. The thin stretch, of pale skin, Over my sprawling veins, T'would appear that, I have to go just a bit deeper, And then I get to disappear. Oh to disappear, Be without worry, or illness, No more sickness, and no more health. Turning out the lights, would be so simple, But to complicate, would save my life. And so I will get through, To find the way out, of my prison. Thinking makes not a human, The only true way, is doubt.

The Scars to Get Out
The slash marks, in my wrist, Shine so red under the lights. But they feel, so inadequate. The thin stretch, of pale skin, Over my sprawling veins, T'would appear that, I have to go just a bit deeper, And then I get to disappear. Oh to disappear, Be without worry, or illness, No more sickness, and no more health. Turning out the lights, would be so simple, But to complicate, would save my life. And so I will get through, To find the way out, of my prison. Thinking makes not a human, The only true way, is doubt.
