35 Seconds To Suicide

1…2…3…4…
This is battle…This is war.

5…6…7...8…
Escape is just beyond this gate.

9...10...11...
All good girls go to heaven.

12...13...14...15...
The blade is ready, the blade is keen.

16...17.,.18...19...
Everybody must demean.

20...21...22...
I’d be alive if they only knew 

23...24...25...26...
My problems are too hard to fix. 

27…28…29…30…
Life is everything but sturdy.

31…32...33…
Life is the lock, death is the key. 

34...3-...

Footsteps

Footsteps echoe in the distance,
The darkness has no where to hide,
The skies are open to swallow fear,
The moonlight is only a guide.

Along the concrete the soundwaves break,
As my footsteps wander alone,
The wind whispers warnings of death,
The rustling trees moan. 

Shadows creep along the side,
The morning is far but near,
From this point my tears have dried,
but the memories have not been cleared.

Clouds pile above me,
Lightning breaks up the skies,
Fog is the only thing I see,
Hopes of escaping go by. 

Tears are streaming down my face,
The blade is in my hand, 
I close my eyes as thoughts go by,
It's time to take command. 

The blade is pressed against my wrist,
I hold my breath in fear,
Blood flows from my veins, 
I'm no longer trapped in here.

The Mask

I stand up only to be knocked back down,
I've been torn like paper,
and shattered like glass.
But you say life goes on...
so I stand up and act strong,
just as you tell me to.
I whipe away my tears,
cover the scars,
and hope that my smile never fades.
I laugh to hide the pain,
but I cry more to ease it.
I walk with a smile,
but it is not real.
You tell me it will be okay,
but the sleepless nights,
and tearfilled days,
tell me it won't be.
I seem so "happy",
no one would ever guess,
I wish everyday to be my last.
But you say to "be happy",
even though we both know I won't be. 
...Still I listen,
I close my eyes,
take a deep breath,
and continue to act is if my life was perfect. 
My sorrows get washed away,
with my blood and tears,
because with this mask you tell me to wear,
I know the pain will never go away.

Phobia

Sudden fear strikes,
The anxiety sinks in,
My life is quickly melting,
My world begins to spin.

Fear roars before me,
My soul turns to black,
My tears turn to blood, 
My heart begins to attack.

My brain swells devastingly, 
My body abruptly gets tense,
My muscles are trembling,
The anguish is intense.

The panic is all around me,
My veins dripping cold blood,
The room is getting darker,
My pulse draws vicious thuds. 

The devil's voice is screaming,
My fists clenching with excruciating wrath,
My throat is getting tighter, 
My life's on the death path. 

Soon my eyes will close,
Their will be no place to run,
Fear will take over,
That's when you know the anxiety has won...

Relapse

Blood turns to scars,
It is over and done,
The battle...I finally won. 
 
I’m walking on air,
Unprepared for what’s to come,
Soon to feel dead and numb.
 
The blood, the blades,
The unforgettable pain,
Nothing but this is keeping me sane.
 
The tears I cried,
The blood I bled,
The times I wished I could be dead.
 
Again…This is how I feel,
The end is far, the beginning is near,
Nothing to laugh at, plenty to fear.
 
The blade is much sharper,
The blood drips much faster,
Suicide…that is what I wish to master.

No Direction

I'm afraid to live,
but i'm afraid to die.
I'm afraid to laugh,
but i'm afraid to cry. 

I'm afraid to look,
but i'm afraid to find. 
I'm afraid to forget, 
but i'm afraid to mind. 

Roads are worthless when you have no place to go, 
wheather I go left or right, 
my hopes do not grow. 

I'm afraid to love,
but i'm afraid hate. 
I'm afraid to be bad, 
but i'm afraid to be great. 

I'm afraid to trust,
but i'm afraid to deny. 
I'm afraid to smile, 
but i'm afraid sigh. 

Roads are worthless when you have no place to go, 
wheather I go left or right, 
my hopes do not grow.

I'm afraid to see,
but i'm afraid to be blind. 
I'm afraid to be ahead,
but i'm afraid to be behind. 

I'm afraid to be awake,
but i'm afraid to be asleep.
I'm afraid to be real,
but i'm afraid to be fake. 

Roads are worthless when you have no place to go, 
wheather I go left or right, 
my hopes do not grow.

No Love Lost

If you were to die tomorrow,
No tears would I shed,
I’d laugh at your lifelessness,
And the blood you have bled,
I’d admire your heart that no longer pumps,
How your soul is pure black,
And your pulse strikes no thumps.
 
If you were to die tomorrow,
No tears would I shed,
I’d smile at your suffering,
And the afterlife you dread,
I’ll be touched by the tear still stuck in your eye,
How your life will be gone,
And still… No sighs.
 
If you were to die tomorrow,
No tears would I shed,
I’d find satisfaction from you paleness,
And your life I had shred,
I’d dance on the earth that is now free of you,
How you’re almost lifeless and gone,
And my hatefulness stays true.

Let Go of Life

My head is pounding,
My heart is aching,
Tears are seeping,
My bodies shaking.
 
The rope is hanging,
The chair is standing,
My feet are set,
The grounds’ expanding.
 
I close my eyes,
I leash my neck,
I grab the end,
My life’s a wreck.
 
The room is quiet,
It’s awfully dark,
No lights are shining,
Not one spark.
 
I feel so lost,
I feel confused,
I feel unloved,
I feel so used.
 
My stomach has dropped,
My mind is sick,
I feel so dizzy,
This must be quick.
 
I look on down,
I make my choice,
I slide my feet,
I hear God’s voice.
 
My life goes black,
My neck has snapped,
My pulse had stopped,
I am no longer trapped.

Under All

In this life I walk alone,
Along a path that is hardly known.
 
Against the world, against my fears,
Fighting nothing but hopes and tears.
 
Here I find a lonely rose,
It cries so softly that nobody knows.
 
I hold it tight so thorns pierce through,
Dripping down is blood so blue.
 
I continue on my path so grey,
Into the darkness of vast array.
 
A voice so lonely it will never be heard,
A life so worthless it should just be interred.

Red Rose

Let your deadly thorns cut through my veins,
Let my blood blend into your dark pedals,
Let your stem smother away my life,
Red red rose you threaten me,
 
Let your mysterious insides be hidden,
Let your darkness be filled with immorality,
Let your life be short and reluctant,
Red red rose you darken me,
 
Let your insides seep cold blood,
Let your keen thorns slice through my heart,
Let your leaves strangle me lifeless,
Red red rose you define me,
 
Let your pedals be burned by the devil,
Let your leaves wither to dry dust,
Let your stem snap like a broken bone,
Red red rose you amuse me.
