As I drown in vicious thoughts,
I break and cry tears of distraught.
For this world seems no longer for me,
And there is no god to hear my plea.
I think this is my time, I need to go,
But then my mind's words begin to slow.
For a split second, I sigh in relief.
Before it starts again, the cycle of grief.
My sight blurs and breath quickens.
This feeling makes my spine stiffen.
Harsh clouds of darkness start to surround.
My heart speaks, like a hammer it pounds.
Screaming for some sort of release.
The lines in my face contort and crease.
No longer able to cope with the pain,
The darkness laughs, to it, it is a game.
Now I draw my last breath saying my goodbye,
As the knots in my chest slacken and untie.
I begin to fade staring into the abyss.
I feel the violent touch of death's kiss.
My body now a shell, no warmth at its core.
These are the last words of a girl on death's door.
