Here i sit,
caged by pain.
Thoughts of death consume me.
I wish to die,
i close my eye's,
i want to rid myself of guilt.
a tortured past,
used and abused,
the screams are ringing through my ears.
My trust was shattered,
now here i sit,
down in the basement where i'll die.
I lie upon this cold, wet floor,
shivering and shaking and wondering why.
Why i was not good enough,
why was i abandoned.
I thought i was a loving child,
who always made you smile.
I feel the tears run down my face,
and now i know i've found my place.
Here upon this cold, wet floor,
lying face up on my grave.
I stare up at the ceiling,
and watch as spiders race.
They weave decietful webs of shame,
through shadows of my darkened heart.
I hear a loud and eery creek,
the opening of a door.
I hear the thump of quickening steps,
down the stairs i hear the feet,
now i say my last goodbye's.
My hands are tied to tall, metal posts.
My feet secured in place.
I see a flash of silver,
i feel the stinging bite,
with a slow strong motion,
my throat is deeply slit.
The sudden pain consumes me,
my blood begins to spurt,
i gag and choke while smiling,
as my life is quickly bled.
Now i know i've paid the price,
bleeding from that fatal slice.
No longer am i burdening,
the family i've done wrong.
Author notes
ONCE AGAIN, I'M NOT SUICIDAL! I don't want anyone to think i'm going to go off myself (even though i didn't end my life in this piece). Just want to make sure that's clear. THis is just emotions and stuff that i've dealt with growing up due to my fucked up past.
