I have a decision to make.
except I don't know what I'm deciding between.
Questions formed in steady doses.
Answers shy away,
A shinning light in an empty room.
Taunting me with their many locks.
I'm just so lost.
I have a reason to live,
but I don't know what it is.
Dont tell me what to believe..
I'm deciding between...
My life changes in this moment..
When I become
something other then mindless.
Thinking for myself.
The fires in my eyes..
I'm blazing my own path.
I'm terrified.
Wondering what I'll lose,
wondering what I'll gain.
My tears don't taste the same.
theres something inhuman about the substance.
A callased look into the mirror reveals:
A bleeding girl.
Food tastes like mud.
Sleep feels like death.
What have I become?

It sounds to me like you've died.

I enjoyed this.  Its like the character in the story had a life decision to make and made the wrong one.

let it spill and roar like hell!

For me, this poem was clearly about suicide and so often people are blamed for commiting suicide, we chose to focuss on the fact that a person did it, instead of why they did it.  Nicely done.
