Void of Life

Some times when I began to think,

I wonder if any one really cares.

Would they even blink out a tear?

If I was to take my life.

Could they even possibly be upset;

Or is it just another act.

It's when this happens that I began to fear,

Why is that I feel this way?

What is that year by year I work for.

Death.

In one way or another death will creep up on me.

Shouldn't it be my choice of when I go?

Suicidal Tendencies.

Around this time I wonder what to do.

Emotions contained and imprisoned fight for freedom.

I hurry and hide them afraid to break the shell.

When the knife slices my arm, they break free,

Emotions and blood leak out like a broken dam.

Suicidal Tendencies.

I'm left wondering what will happen then.

Finally my senses come back again.

I shove the emotions away, and lock up my true self.

I open my eyes and realize,

Suicide is weak.

I'm sick of being weak.

I push my mind to the limit, and shatter my soul.

What was once my true self,

Who I really am under this shell I call life, is gone for good.

I'm doomed to die by myself, all alone.

I'm left standing here, all alone.

I'm but a shadow of my former self.

Welcome to the Void of Life.
