LIFE, LOVE, SUICIDE by Dionne Miller

It Was Just A Dream

I never thought

that it'll reach this far

first the emotions came

then came battle scars

Each for something I did wrong

or for something I didn't like

I hid them too well

only to be exposed at night

I really tried to stop

I even promised a friend

but one thing led to another

it became something they couldn't prevent

My heart racing in my chest

while I sit on the floor

that's when I decided

I can't take it anymore

Standing on the chair

rope around my neck

should I leave a note?

oh, what the heck!

Its not like they'd care

would they even cry?

if they were there for me

then I wouldn't have to die

I'm just a waste of space

I could never fit in

society put me in solitary

and the walls are caving in

I need to get out

I need to go away

things will get worse

if I choose to stay

I never left a note

I just jumped off the chair

that's when the darkness came

and my mind was finally clear

I remember waking up

coming back to reality

realization dawning on me

it was just a dream
