I sit on the floor sobbing, weeping against the garbage can it's right that I end here Thoughts of an end thoughts of the end finality, stopping the noise my head is an echo chamber a cacophony assaults me a sinuous voice winds through telling me it's right to do this
I sit on the floor breaking every promise making lies of my words driven by shame she comes and finds me there the edge to end it in my hand my incoherent pleas brushed aside the things I start and never finish in the moment it seemed so clear to succeed at last at something, anything
a week has gone and still my mind travels along that edge how did I get here when I had long ago put this aside in a moment it surged out surrounding me, from somewhere deep, deep inside I feel like that child again made wrong and ***** in the closet made bruised and battered by hands that were to guide me fleeing from the anger into shame
I find brief moments of peace a tenuous hold that is so fleeting I grasp for meaning, for purpose I look again for hope, to continue to end this fear of myself to see myself through eyes untainted by the loathing and hate that I see through the eyes that are mine
