Calloused eyes relax in this darkened room The wounds hidden in the absence of light Blood seeps through the confinements of this tomb Betraying the visions within my plight Finally silence overpowers pain And quiets the whispers of insanity At last cease the voices that chant my name As I embrace this calm tranquility Vaguely remembering the lessons taught More is forgotten with each dying breath The war's last battle has just been fought Victory greets the soothing hand of death Refuge sought within the tears of sorrow Your potent remedy I now borrow
Reason for writing:
I wrote this a few years ago... It is a reflection on my own suicide attempts stemming from the loss of my two best friends to suicide
