Torture of Breath
Home alone, and nowhere to go,
I ponder my existence, and what's it to show?
The care I crave, the emotions I lust,
Society has filled me only with distrust.
I pick up the bottle, open the top,
What am I dong? I have to stop!
I dump the contents into my hand,
I fight to force it away, but I jusy can't!
"Stop it! you idiot!" I scream aloud,
Tears are flowing, as my blood starts to pound
"Why can't I just end it!?" I ask with fury.
My hand forces to my mouth, as my sight goes blurry,
"What have I done...?" I question in fear,
Not ready to leave, not from here.
I can't take it back, it's already done,
I close my eyelids, as I stare into a sun...
