Challenge
Write about a dark and sensitive subject.
Suicidal Tendencies
Blackness
steals my breath
Clawing
Sliding farther into the abyss
Soul decaying
As my hope begins to fade
No longer standing
As the tears stain my face
Pills and poisons
Consume this empty shell
And every morning I awaken
Is another failure
I have achieved
So tonight
I will quiet my thoughts
With medications
Prescribed to me
Knowing full well
The tendencies follow
Hoping tomorrow
Will no longer come
So farewell
And sweet dreams
I look forward
To eternal sleep
