Letters to You

~My Losing battle~

There's a sinking feeling in my chest

I don't know if I can do this again

I watch as people rise and fall

Sometimes the fall is so far down

They even hit rock bottom

yet, even so, some are lucky enough

They climb back up as they get their way

right back to the top

yet I do not ignore

the ones that forgot themselves

left alone to rot

'that should be you'

Said the voices

'You should die too'

Another body drops dead

'leave some more room'

said the voices in my head

'she'll be there soon'

Not long after countless fighting

Finally, I hit rock bottom too

As my body hits the solid rock

My face contorts with pain

I feel my consciousness start slipping

yet somehow I'm still here breathing

I place a hand on my chest

there it is, my heart still beating

'You're supposed to be dead'

the voices in my head start reeling

I feel them losing  their control

now this is a wonderful feeling

I close my eyes as I sink in

as darkness envelopes my vision

I feel a calmness wash over my body

the voices in my head grow quite

I can no longer hear their taunting

'is this it?'

I hear myself think

'Yes' says death

His breathing down my neck

I can almost feel his fangs

No longer can I open my eyes

'This is the end' He says

Right before taking my soul

thus the slowing of my heart rate begins

My breathing slowly stops

so do my thoughts

So now all I've got left to do

Is rot.
