CONCRETE WALLS
The darkness crashes down all around,
Like concrete walls that keep you bound.
I've heard we're a nation of pill poppers these days,
And that psychotherapy is all the rage.
I wonder if those who say such things
Know what it's like when your heart no longer sings.
And the darkness crashes down all around,
Like concrete walls that keep you bound.
You hear a moaning, groaning sound
That seems to to be coming from underground,
But then you realize with a start
That sound is coming from within your own heart.
And you long for a pill, a shrink, a drink,
Something to keep you from going over the brink.
A prayer to God to hear your cry,
To give you wings and let you fly.
At times you see a ray of light,
And wonder could this be the end of the night?
So you crawl across the prison floor
Where you saw the light just a moment before.
But darkness crashes down all around
Like concrete walls that keep you bound.

I must feed these demons that tear at my soul
For they hunger and thirst for my death
An offering of sorts, to appease and console
For they're lusting to covet my breath
The skin on my wrists begin to sigh
As the blade tries to comfort my veins
The death angel waits, he slowly draws nigh
Only a prayer for forgiveness remains
The demons rejoice in lieu of their prize
I can feel their claws holding tight
The darkness replaces the light in my eyes
I move farther away from the light
The floor turning crimson, the demons now drink
They grow drunk on this nectar of life
Death growing closer, he stands at the brink
And licks at the blood on my knife
My soul starts to question this thing that I've done
As it screams and begs me to wait
The time of my passing has slowly begun
I fear it's already too late
The demons devour my last will to live
And mercy fades away like a mist
I gave them a gift that no man should give
Though I probably won't even be missed
This is just poetry, I'm not suicidal....Kinda "Poe" ish....lol
