Am I Dead
Horrific horrid awful thoughts
Running thru my head
Comfy cozy blankets
And lots of pillows on the bed
No control Radom thoughts
All of the things I see
Would scare the **** out of anyone
No control: I'm asleep
Rage and blood pills and death
The pattern does emerge
Jealousy lines of coc
A head that's been submerged
Sharp blades and blood
Or mirrors or glass
The mess is everywhere
I walk into the other room
And curl fetal in a chair
Rocking back and forth
Searching for my happy place
Wishing anyone were here
To wrap me in their embrace
Why is there dried blood
On my face and on my hand
Can't call for help
No one would understand
I stand up, I'm naked I look down,
I'm covered in blood everywhere
I look at the bottle of empty pills
Where I was sitting in that chair
My wrists are slit, but not enuf
To cause me to be dead
Just Enuf to drip down my fingers
And leave a trail across the bed
I look at the bottle once again
Left not a single pill
Did I take all that was there
Wouldn't I be ill
I decide to look In the broken glass
Disgusted by what I see
White powder on my nose
This is so not me
Dried blood runs from my mouth
Dark circles under my eyes
Did I take all those pills
Am I the one who died
I make a run for the toilet
And when down I look
in the bottom of the water
Are the pills I thought I took
Hope the pills all came up
If not I'd still od
There were at least 300 pills
Sitting in front of me
The door opens I hear a scream
But it sounds so far away
It's my kids all of them
But at least I am ok
They start shaking a body
Tears down their faces stream
Shaking and shaking
Mommy they scream
I'm right there my babies
Look I'm ok
Still crying and screaming
They don't look my way
Oh my god all the blood
This is all from me
It was more than a cut
Now that I can see
I didn't stop myself this time
I swore I'd never die
And now my kids have no mom
They just sit and cry
They kiss me in my bloody cheek
One final goodbye
Selfishness has prevailed
For today I have died
