No More Me
No More Me
I have asked for help
Been turned down
Been ignored
No one asked what was wrong
They all said things will get better
I waited
I hoped
I even prayed
But things got worse
My prayers fell on deaf ears
Hopes died on the side of a lonely path
Yet I waited
Day after day
I saw people smiling
Laughing
Living life
Now I sit all alone
Not asking anyone for anything
A piece of steel in my hand
So thin, so sharp
One fast move
I watched as it moved as if in slow motion
There was no pain
A few moments of coldness
A minute of darkness
And suddenly things didn't matter
There was no more pain
No more tears
No more me
