Escaping My Misery

by Holly Cassidy   Apr 20, 2012


I stand in the midst of others,
Masking my inner emotions with a smile.
Little do the others know,
What I feel inside.

I'm tortured by their cruelty,
Burdened with their words,
Bleeding down inside,
But surviving yet another day.

There's nobody to turn to,
Nowhere to run,
Nowhere to hide,
I have no one,
It's just me and me alone.

And then one day,
The thought comes to mind,
Nobody needs me,
They'd be better off without me.

What's the point in living,
When all they've ever done was bully me?
What did I ever do to deserve this misery?
What did I do wrong?

I now sit alone in the bathroom,
Looking at myself for the last time,
A knife sits in the palm of my hand,
Awaiting to pierce my waiting flesh...
