These Feelings

These feelings I hold back, 
These feelings that stab my back. 
Am a boy with a beautiful smile. And a deranged mind. 
I twist in my sleep. 
I sleep through the twists of my depraved dreams. 
I smile at pain, 
And kiss the hot coal. 
Suicide is not a destination, 
It's a journey. 
I walk upon these thorns, 
As I suffocate on the smell of roses. 
I play the guitar, 
But there's razors instead of strings. 
My thoughts dance, 
As the demons in my head sing along. 
I can tell the sharpest knife, 
Even with my eyes closed. 
The silence in my chest, 
Has the day I died attached to it. How will it be suicide? 
If you killed me first?
