I Killed Myself Today

I sit here and watch my life as it flashes before my eyes. The understanding of how and the question of why run through my mind. People stare as my dreams fall apart. They cant see my tears, or my broken heart. I lie awake at night and cry. Wondering-how long till i die? Death...the thought scares me. But I'm willing to take that risk. I start to scream even louder, as I watch the blood pour from my wrists. I try so hard to get away, but nobody lets me go. If you were to leave me alone today, I would be gone tomorrow. Why does no one hear me? Listen to my cries for help? But still I sit here all alone... dealing with the pain myself. You think I'll get over it, that I'll soon be o.k. but that's where you're wrong, because i killed myself today...
