S u i c i d e voices scream
Inside my mind,
D.e.a.t.h dripping down
My n|u|m|b spine.
P i l l s lay ready
To be used,
My c.o.u.r.a.g.e wasting away in
t|e|n|s|e t|e|r|r|o|r.
Al.coh.ol is d r o w n i n g
In my acidic stomach,
D e s p e r a t e thoughts
Make the b.l.o.o.d flow free.
My *k*n*i*f*e* is what I
[loath],
But I can never
Let the need .d.i.e.
This s i n k i n g feeling
Keeps me f.a.l.l.i.n.g
Farther into this [[hate-filled]]
D.e.p.r.e.s.s.i.o.n.
P a i n shakes my body,
Coming in spasms of
A n g e r, .con.fu.sion.,
&& :: silence ::
I'm doing this for [[love-baby]]
Because I was n.e.v.e.r enough beauty
To fit with the beast, even
With a .chi.sel. and s*c*i*s*s*o*r*s
To cut away my ugliness
With his -skill-ful- art.
Author notes
The words that I used, in case you wanted to know, are the ones that are punctuated "randomly". Some that are punctuated are not words in your word bank. I also used one of the titles. Don't know if we were supposed to use both or not...
Hope that this is okay.
