Knees to chest, sitting on the floor Slowly rocking forward to back Breathing slowing and fading I can not feel The devil on the left says "Do it. You'll feel again." The devil on the right says "End your pain. Take the jump." Where is the angel The angel who is suppose to save The angel that will make me feel Like I am of worth and I am okay Either way I am doomed to destruction My sight changes to the devil I look to the left The lighter burns in my hand Everything is slow motion Slowly touching the flame To my pale skin A rush of relief Runs through my bones My heart pounding fast My body becoming weak The devil on the left says "Don't you feel better?" But I don't. So I lay in bed With a new battle wound From a war I lost against myself   As I lay to sleep I go back to where I once was Lost Alone Afraid Numb. B.G.K
