Suicide

by Jon Skidmore\Aries - Not entered

Sitting in my room at night
A razor blade in my hand
tilting it back and forth
my ticket from this land

Trying to find the courage
as I make a fist
to take this symbol of lost hope 
and place it to my wrist

I cannot do it, at least not yet
I must think about it more 
from deep inside to fend the strength
so my soul can soar

Fly up into the sky 
and find a better place
Where I can rest forever
and memories be erased

memories of sorrow 
guilt and grief and fear
as I remember my lost hope
and I place it near

I push it down against my skin 
and begin to feel the burn
eternity of peace and love
from this I will earn

I push down harder 
over my wrist it glides
My soul has been completely freed 
from where the flesh abides

Reason for writing:

    None given
