Tight ropes
Colin Berens Jul 2018
As I was sitting at the desk my thoughts where ensnared
I thought to my self I wouldn't hang even if dared

That really skipped over my mind
I get laughed at because I'm blind

Just because i can't see the people I'm with
Doesn't mean I don't know who you are

I can hear you for miles about to snicker

That's what drove me closer to the chair
It's just not fair
As my mind fills with sadness and despair

I tie the rope around my head so tight it rips out my hair and it goes everywhere

Thoughts of all the times together keeps me on the edge of the chair

Contemplating if I should jump but i just stare at the floor

Then with every thought considered i push the chair away with my toes

And my body drops like a bag filled with sand
It doesn't land

It's hung from a rope
This all started because I mope
Right before I jumped I wished there was still hope

I was so sad about what they had
If I stuck around I could've been a dad

But now I'm just hanging from a tight rope

Wishing for things i can never have

Shots to end all
Colin Berens Jul 2018
I walked home from the gun store with only one red shell

I guess it must have been that musty smell

Because People looked at me in disgust

I was a nuisance to some
Everyone left me even my family and kids

I looked for a tool to end it all and starting placing bids

There was only one shell and I didn't want to miss

Taking the gun and loading my shot

I placed the barrel in my mouth and my hands became hot

They where so sweaty and I was thinking it over
This was the last choice I would make
And I pulled the the trigger

Plugs connect
Colin Berens Jul 2018
They can have a wonderful life without me I guess it must be sad

That's too bad I've gone and went like summers rain

It's such a pain

I sat in the tub thinking of all the bad times because there where no good

But there I stood

Plugging in the chord to my demise

And dropped it in the bleach white tub it didn't rise

I thought to myself would I even be missed

Would they even cry when I've passed

That thought didn't last

I jumped in the tub crying and felt my body surge

As it submerged

Last second choice
Colin Berens Jul 2018
as I stare at the edge of the cliff

I looked down and my body became stiff

I swear it's bliss

I think twice about jumping
 
But I make the choice to go

You should've watched my head blow

It smashed into the ground
 
And turned my neck around

As I was falling I regretted the decision

There was nothing the doctors could do even with an incision
 
The very next day i was laying in my coffin

Regretting the choice

Couldn't even hear the noise of my family and friends crying

But some of them where lieing

They thought they tried to save me

But they couldn't just let it be

all I can think about is the that one choice that put me here in a wood box six feet under.

I messed up in life and even in death I'm sad

I'm not glad just mad

it was a wrong choice not the right one for me.

I'm loosing my mind thinking of what my life could be

why couldn't I wait and just see

 to this day if I was still alive it would've just been you and me

Miles for family
Colin Berens Jul 2018
I got many words but some leave scars and some smiles better believe I leave my
mom driving miles

To the next hospital so she can save my
friend from dying

She ran in saying help look at him
Look at his wrists there slashed to bits.

Can you save him with a stitch

Words can hurt even though you playing

When my words bring smiles they are not
forgetting what I was saying

So I'll keep on staying right here

Till u see the little white birds

Flying in the night

That will be the end of you right?

— The End —
