Anger

A boy so alone
A boy so afraid
A boy so regretful
Of this mistake he has made

Sitting in a dark room
His face full of tears
Wanting to escape
From this world he fears

His entire forearm
Covered in blood
Though he knows deep down
It does him no good

He feels as sharp as
The blade on the knife
He pines to rid himself 
From this life

A life of pretending
A life of show
Can no longer cope
He feels the time is here
For him to go

Wants to pluck up courage
To cut down deep
And give himself
Eternal sleep

Heart felt. Full of emotion and very descriptive. I hope not you or a family member but just a poem. We have gone through this with our grandson over the past four years. It is hard on the person and family members. Thanks for sharing. Sara
