Insanity

She clutches her head sliding to the floor Begging for the voices to leave She's on her knees but all she can do is cry She's up all night too scared to sleep Shirt pulled down hiding scars Eyes closed tight, hiding from the world The voices getting louder The despair is getting stronger The willing to live has disappeared She's tired of living like this She's tired of feeling insane She can't escape She's all alone The voice's get louder Arms wrapped around her waist As she tries to grab a hold of reality She begs, pleads, needing release Her hands shake as she watches the girl she use to know in the mirror She sees a girl, a broken girl A girl with no intent of living another night Eyes dark, no spark left She picks up a gun, smiling to herself Smiling one last time, the first time in months She says her final goodbye She falls to the ground with a THUD Her mom throws open the door too late She falls to her knees and weeps Crying for her only daughter Her daughter who is now gone The girl laying in the casket, cold and dead She lost the battle, She lost the war... She lost to insanity

Very intense as I feel this crimson tear slide down my face. My Heart goes out to all who have to endure such pain.
