Trying to escape from this cruel and unforgiving world
I sit here, wishing this pain that is embeded into the deep ridges of my mind goes away
But it doesn't
No matter what I do, I can't seem to shake it
I once had a hero, someone I looked up to
Someone I wish I could be so much like
That person was me
Now, everytime I look into the mirror
I now see a creature staring back into my cold and empty eyes
I smash it, hoping that that will change something
But it doesn't but instead I look at the scars that have formed over time
I pick up a small peice of glass on the floor and take a deep breath
I run that small peice of escape deep into my flesh
The more hate I feel in my heart
The deeper that sweet redemption goes
And when I feel I'm satisfied, I stop
But the blood doesn't
I frantically find a towel and push it hard into the opening in my skin
But it's won't stop
What have I done? How can He ever forgive me?
You have to understand, this is for the best
I am no longer a burden on society
I accept that this is my last few moments here on earth
So I prey and wisper to myself
"I'm sorry to everyone, family and friends
I have failed you once again
I only wish you could of seen the pain that I felt everyday of my life"
And as I lay my head back and a single tear falls down my cheek
I wisper to myself
"Oh Sweet Escape"

wow!
this was an amzing piece of work and the background pics totally add to the theme. Your title really caught my eyes and I just had to readd it. I think that this piece was extremely well-written and the emotion was really powerful.
