Escape...

by Shellaine shelli   Jun 30, 2008


I am desperately
crying out for help...
I'm trying to avoid killing myself.
I've faced a lot
of pain that can't be denied
and have led a pain filled life.

My fears are forever whispering to me
that I need to keep running
for when I stop
the shadows of my pain
will drown me in the
evident tears I
have tried so hard to hide.

The scars and fresh cuts on
my wrists make the
pain I deny evident...
They show that what I try to hide is real...
Its all true...

I can't deny that the pain
sometimes becomes so surreal
and takes over my mind...
They say that
I need to be strong
the fear is only in my mind.

This is my sweet sacrifice
I've given up on holding on
until help arrived
I've gone and chosen the
sharpest of knives.

The blood flows out like
a river
my soul is going to the devil
and will soon be delivered.
I have made a pact
now... theres no turning back...

I sealed it with the knifes kiss
leaving me in eternal bliss
for I have escaped the fears in my head
and have realized...
Now that its to late...
I realize I am the fears
I tried so hard to escape...

    Very sharp twist of emotion and self realization. Brought a lot of things from my own life into perspective in a sudden flash of memories. The rising emotions suddenly faced with reality but it's too late. I really liked this piece. Thanks for the read.
