It's all slipping
Everything is getting worse
Worse..... and worse....
The cuts are getting deeper
The scars are staying longer
The thoughts are growing louder
Everything is falling apart
I thought... I thought I could do it
I thought I could hold myself together
But the strain... it's wearing on me
The fatigue is making me weak
I've begun slipping...
All the pieces of my life
Falling from my grasp
In a violent cascade
I don't even want to try anymore
I just want to let them crash to the ground
Shatter like glass
As they slip from my fingertips

Then and only then
Will I be able to finally surrender
When I hear the darkness calling my name
Drawing me to the edge of the chasm
And maybe
If I'm very lucky
I'll slip
How merciful that would be...

I seem to be experiencing suicidal ideation tonight
