What is inside

by PAUL HEWSON   Feb 22, 2005


Running till my souls exposed
opening doors that should have stayed closed
scratching the ground to find a way down
swallowing water in the hope that i drown

thinking till my head exploded
holding a gun that i should never have loaded
scratching the surface of my cynical side
i need to get deeper , find somewhere to hide

calling out till my voice expires
spread the ash from my own funeral pyre
ripping and tearing at my very own skin
i need to get deeper to see whats within

dying to slowly, this aching wont cease
god how I've searched for that one missing piece
thinking till my head exploded
shooting my gun that i should never have loaded

    Very good poem. Typically, poem about suicide come across as trite (at best) but this was so well done. Excellent word choice, giving it very entertaining qualities. well done! I really enjoyed this.
