Some Where - Apr 12
Toppled by a bottle, collapsed upon her painful past, asleep—but well awake!—, unmoving, but for her mind stirred aquake, the girl is yawning before her black dawn. Alone, couched by a burning blanket drawn over a conscience guilty at the stake, slipping into the sly hands of the snake, she sees not clearly the sickening con which lures her slowly to her deathly...

I miss myself
Was it just another fiended out over dose? Or a dire plea to end her curse and broken hopes? WHY MUST EVERYTHING ALWAYS HURT the daily struggle got me spent My wings are broken And my halo been bent Tryna throw in the towel, But I'm leaned off this wett So I stay at the bottom til I'm moldy with regrets*...

My Josh
My Josh 3 years? How can so much time pass without leaving a trace? I see the effects of father time, on my face, your mother, and your friends. But doesn't the one who matters most get the privilege of growing old? 3 years! My brain knows a cruel secret that my heart refuses to accept. My...

Premium Member the day i woke up from my suicide
it was cold, yet hot, a fever. i am surprised, as though I didn't fill myself with poison just the night before. my arm is taped down, attached to an iv, four pouches of medication seep into my veins it burns, yet any tears i have left have been taken by my father, crying in the seat beside my hospital bed, next to my mother,...

Melancholy me, since Kelly's gone away Far beyond the sea, and gone from everyday Stage by stage I've wept, but finally, I see What I must now accept; a melancholy me It follows and it looms, a threat to my clear sky Though never quite consumes, insists that I comply She's not for me to find, no path for me...

Premium Member Critical Overdose
I felt the pain as the needle went in. It quickly faded as my journey began. No one could sense the loss of my senses. Walking the clouds with feet on the ground. Time slowed down like babies crawl. My eyelids carried the full weight of life. Coursing ever down into the abyss. The door closed with my final breath. I am no...

The Center
The cool, blue tiles at the Center were a soft memory of downtown Where my mom and I once picked red flowers from bushes on Christmas There was a time when she decided to take me to the Center for lessons. Coming out of the stall in the bathroom I saw a body lay across the floor I wasn't...

Overdose
I tell myself I’m fine, That i know how to get through, But the fear is suffocating, Because I know my words aren’t true, I tell myself I’ll make it, Just hold on a little more, As I pull the needle out, Curled up dying on the floor....

Overdose
He buys his drugs just to get high Never thinkiing he might die. He pays his money takes the dope; He still believes--this is his hope. He's nineteen, he's really just a boy He buys his drugs, searches for joy. He lies motionless in a hospital bed He's all hooked up; his brain is dead. He stops breathing, his fight is done The angels...
