Suicide

Staring down the barrel.
Unsure i want to do this.
Its so selfish i think.
Caring not for others.
I lie myself against the wall.
Decisions, decisions i guess this is the end.
Eventually, somewhere i will find my mend.

Anger

It lies dormant, waiting, like a lion for prey,
Then jumps out at the least expectant victim.
It becomes a part of me, 
A part of me hated by all who know me.
It feeds on my hatred of others.
It leaves loved ones scarred and afraid.
It eradicates all other emotions beside itself.
It wears at my teeth,
Till my jaws are so sore i cant speak.
It torments my mind and body,
Leaving me unable to think or feel.
It makes my fists rebound off the wall.
It has no antidote.
It leaves me doleful and ill bred.
It overloads my mind with thoughts of suicide.
It.....is my anger.

Fade

I slit my wrists and watch them bleed. ,
I feel no pain, just emptiness and conceit,
As i lay here, my blood spills onto the floor,
All the time i spent trying to love,
Flashes before me, and i fade away...

Untitled

Your lying in bed,
Quickly, pull the blanket over your head.
Don't let him see your eyes,
For it might give away your fear.
He's coming closer, shhh don't move,
stalking through the darkness,
close your eyes, 
what's that they always say?
"think happy thoughts" yeah thats it.
don't stir, he might see you.
he's standing over you, 
you can see his hand moving closer, 
he's pulling the blanket back.
keep your eyes closed, don't look at him.
bite your tongue to keep from screaming.
the taste of blood fills your mouth.
finally, he leaves...leaves with your innocence,
your happiness, leaving you to feel guilty, and ashamed,
leaving you to hurt...
