Sunshine and Rainbows


Sitting in a deep dark room,
A void of blackness surrounds me.
The end will come soon,
The clouds outside seem eerie.
 
Sitting there thinking,
I'm trapped in my mind.
My thoughts are sinking,
I'm running out of time.
 
My mind is a prison,
I see no escape.
My body has risen,
As I see my fate.
 
On the window a green bottle sits,
Filled with poison to its top,
I grab the bottle as a thought hits.
I'll drown my sorrows and will not stop.
 
Simmering in my throat.
Burning inside.
Waiting till I croak.
Killing the demons where they hide.
 
It's killing me steady,
I'm losing my breath,
I can see it already,
That shadow of death.
 
Sitting alone,
Dying painful and slow,
I feel at home.
Sunshine and rainbows.
