It Hurts
I'm in so much pain!
My brain is on fire and my soul is in shambles
I can not see and my body is numb
How can I escape this burning Hell
When my heart is shattered
And my mind is dumb?
My friends are leaving, the few that i made
They don't see the black hole sucking me slowly inside
No, they just think I'm ignoring them that I'm a bad friend
Can't they see how much pain I'm in?
I'm drowning in fear
I was hit with a bolt of anxiety
My hands are shaking I can't breathe or function
I'm asking I'm begging anybody please!
Make it stop!
Someone help me I'm down on my knees!
Why doesn't anyone see the pain that I'm in, how much it hurts!
I'm crying and screaming and thrashing about!
I'm throwing up and rolling on the ground
Does no one see this?
Oh wait
Of course they don't
Because all of that is in my mind
Death is my only option now
It's the only thing to free me from this suffering
I tie a nouse and right a note
And look through the hole that is my escape
It is so beautiful
But for some reason I stop
I think it might be hope
Hope for the future as I set down my rope
The pain is subsiding
But it is still there
I ignore it as I walk downstairs.
My family is waiting
We all watch TV
I feel their love calming the screaming inside of me
