Suicide

This cry for help goes unheard
Rivers flow from within
As my emotions cave-in.
I’m blooded, beaten and not really living
I go through the motions and continue existing.
She screams and kicks wanting more than I can lift.
I glare at this sicken reflection
 And sense a feeling of rejection.
You smile and giggle when we do for you
All you know is that we are pleasing you.
You accuse, abuse and cast the blaming
Without caring, you are the cause for our shaming.
My ears bleed from your hateful words
From all the sorries left unheard.
I can never say how I feel, because the 
Happy smiles I wore were all too real.
Instead of telling you, all my feelings
Perhaps this gesture will be more appealing.
This color is your favorite
Don’t be angry for the staining
You are the cause for this ending
Because through all the pleasing
I never was really living
