Darkness suffocates me
I sence my death
My strength evaporates into nothing
I will not exist as I am
My eyes have ceased their vision
My heart offeres no beat
My screams have no voice
Just silent echos across the street
Angry words attack me, tearing my mind
Family discarded, abandoned and void
Torment has outlived my joy
It gnaws through my bones
Gashing wounds seeping with pain
No embrace ever came
My blackness is hidden
No-one can draw me out
Breathe freely this destruction of self
To gain the bitter end

Writing this poem saved my life. I did not want a bitter end
