Death to Life, Death to Self

Remember those days we had fun? Remember my life was once complete? I could never see myself there again I will never be able to see those times again I never thought I'd die here I never thought I'd die on my own bed I never thought I'd kill myself I never thought I'd come this close to the edge You won't see me cry You won't see me die I just don't care any more Lights and darkness Blurred signs of my own want for life slipping away I think I might not turn back this time Because all I want to do is just die Remember those times I asked you for more milk, Mommy? Remember when I always told you not to sing? Never forget the things like that Just forget about me I hear my friends now Lauging and telling me their stupid jokes I loved them back then We loved back then I can see my mom looking away I can see my father crying It's not your fault I just made a mistake... I just made a mistake... No I won't make that mistake I drop my pills, Kneel on the floor and cry I forgot what it meant to be broken I forgot what it meant to try This time I'll be ok I know I'll be okInspired by Adam's Song (Blink 182) and a desire to show hope. The flip side of my first poem on here, the Suicide, but this time hopeful. Intelligent criticism welcome. Written July 17th, 2001 © on Feb 21 2002 06:03 PM PST   0 • 12
