Life
My mind is racing.
Thoughts are scattered.
Thumping feet keep their fast pace, but no eyes meet mine.
The odor of burning nicotine is overwhelming.
I wanna scream out, but my lips are numb.
They cannot form any words.
What doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger, right?
Wrong.
I've been here too many times and I still see no vivid muscles indentations.
Forcing my body into deep sleep seems easier.
The thick tears are clouding my hands,
Still I manage to complete the task.
The curve of the blade sinks perfectly into my fresh skin.
Suddenly I hear no more thumps or smell no more nicotine.
I'm free from life.
