Darkened Dreams

My silent screams go unnoticed, My darkened dreams unchecked; This emptiness is all consuming, Will it steal away my breath? Everything around turns to grey, I'm not sure if I should resist; As color slowly fades away, This numbness only persists. Silence can be so much louder Than any spoken word; So all these days will pass me by, My thoughts still left unheard. I thought my only option left Was to end my precious life; So I planned to step off of a ledge Or make friends with a knife. As I lay upon the blood-stained floor, I wonder what I've done; The devil looks in through my door And steals another one.

I think this is so well written, humans are the only animal on Earth that understands that one day they will die but before that happens we must exploit our god given talents for the benefit of others, enjoy yours as we will my friend. :)
