All I ever wanted was some space,
But now I feel all alone in this place,
No one to talk to no one to share my inner most feelings of despair,
No one cares if I make it through the night,
All I ever wanted to do was to make things right,
Would it be a shame,
For me to stop the pain,
Would it all go away if I got hit by a train,
I feel like crying but inside I’m dying,
I cut my wrist and see the blood drain,
Knowing full well I’ve nothing to gain,
I drop to the floor and scream once more,
How long have I cried,
Is this just an innocent suicide.

Down Here

down here
where my muscles
stretch and cramp
is a panic to get away
that seizes thought

I must get away
to the heaven
of the ceiling
where I could move
like dancing on ice

move with free thought

lying here in silence
long red screams
distanced, alienated, alone
tears threaten to lightly
tip the balance of control
and I dig deeper
finding my salvation
in a desperate act
