Dark circles
Aching feet
As I pace around in mystery
Heart torn into a hopeless rant of living
Heavy breaths gathered by minds filled with hollow care
Can't they see they've won
Because I'm barely there
They promised me acceptance
But all received was harsh fears
Fears of being seen
Fears of being lost
Fears of being alone
I now lay under a covered bed
Darkness surrounding my vision
If only the knew
If only they knew the amount of burden their poison words brought
If that had crossed their mind, they may have saved a life
A life that I now realize was worth saving
Aching feet
As I pace around in mystery
Heart torn into a hopeless rant of living
Heavy breaths gathered by minds filled with hollow care
Can't they see they've won
Because I'm barely there
They promised me acceptance
But all received was harsh fears
Fears of being seen
Fears of being lost
Fears of being alone
I now lay under a covered bed
Darkness surrounding my vision
If only the knew
If only they knew the amount of burden their poison words brought
If that had crossed their mind, they may have saved a life
A life that I now realize was worth saving
This is a poem about how I felt when I almost committed suicide. i was young and had many family and friendship hurdles. I would like this to be a warning to everyone that one hurtful word is like poison to another. And that poison spreads and destroys your life. Because you'll soon learn that the worst critic is yourself. So please, I beg of you, think before you speak. It could be the ultimatum between life and death for someone. x
