Untitled

Living in a world that hurts and is hurting is taking its toll, I want to leave this earth so I can finally discover peace, To let go of its hold on me and the claws I keep digging in deeper, I’m too sensitive for a world that is basking in pain, And too hurt to keep bandaging over wounds that refuse to heal, Bleeding on those close enough to touch and dragging them down into the abyss, Hurting those around me through my hurt, Wounding myself until I’m ribbons on the floor, I just need to remove myself from a world of pain and suffering, And hope that it takes some away, Hope that my sacrifice finally brings some peace and joy, I hope it takes it away and leaves me to rot in the ground, Because my only place in this world is the ground beneath my feet, Buried down far and deep, So I can finally stop hearing the screams, So I can finally stop suffering, So the world can finally turn again
