NOTE: This is an extreme poem. I am giving fair warning that is contains glimpses of reality in the form of suicide.

Side note: This is not how I FEEL. It is just a piece I had the urge to write and share.


I'm ready to run,
take away my mind.
I'm ready to die now,
is life worth living.
Now how do I begin,
to say goodbye?

I'm ready to run,
away now.
To free myself from pain,
I'm ready to die now,
is life worth living?
Now how do I begin,
to say goodbye.

I'm ready to run,
it only hurts when I breathe.
I'm ready to run,
away from this shelter,
to free myself from pain.

All I really want,
is to cry now.
This pain it won't go away.
All I really want,
is to be at ease.
All I really want,
is to cry now.

Here I am now,
hiding behind a fake smile,
Here I am now,
and it still only hurts when I breathe.
But I'm not ready to die now.

I have felt like this. Your poem feels familiar, it recalls the times when I am struggling to get out of dark tunnels.
A very powerful poem!
Thanks to God you do not allow the one who feels like this to actually go ahead with his purpose. There is always hope to be found, some sparkles of it at least.
Love, Margherita

I felt the pain in my soul.  My heart is full of tears.

I need to breathe for myself. I think this was a huge learning experience.
