Death Wish

I’m fake.

I don’t mean to be.

But in front of others I can’t really be me.

Have to hide my true face so they don’t hate

the real me, a girl in this fragile state.

Because at most times I want to cry.

A lot of the time I want to die.

I want to end this sad thing that I have become.

So turned off from the world, so cold and numb.

And if I’m honest they might despise me.

So I try to hide so they cannot see

that I’m struggling, trying not to drown.

When really I want to sink down.

Down into the silence and the bliss.

How I long for Death’s sweet kiss

to silence my pain and breath,

please come to me sweet death.
