It's 2:06 in the morning and I'm laying here screaming into my pillow as the fear creeps in to steal what's left of my sanity If only the ink flowed from my pen as artfully as the crimson from my wrists Perhaps then I would not want to marry the blade to my skin I'm losing my willpower not to cut I found an old suicide note today I'm still not sure why I never made use of it Though my palms sweat, my forearms are shaking I'm starting to drift into a world where dreams I won't remember will torture me to consciousness I just want to close my eyes and never see any of you again; maybe then I wouldn't be able to burden you anymore I will miss everyone when I am gone; I hope my selfishness won't hurt you as much as my selflessness has hurt me Goodbye
