Bleed It Out

In my room I'm lying
I just want to shout
Can't stop the crying
So I just bleed it out.

The walls of my life
Are starting to bend
Under this struggle and strife
I just want it to end.

Whenever I think
I don't know what to do
The lines begin to link
But I can't think it through.

My head starts to pound
As the thoughts start to fade
But they all come around
And wander back to the blade.

Not thinking at all
I pick up the knife
I don't want to forestall
The end of this life.

My mind goes numb
When I see the red
How could I be so dumb
I can't change if I'm dead.

I don't know where to start
So I begin to cry
But I silence the part
That wanted to die.

With my mind at rest
I start to see
The way that's best
It's clearer to me.

The greatest gift
To myself I give
A joyous uplift
A reason to live.

I have my way
But it doesn't last
It refuses to stay
It's already in the past.

The evil thoughts return
And swarm in my head
I no longer feel concern
I just wish I were dead.

The thoughts that appear
Are only mean and curt
I don't want to hear
I just want to hurt.

I pick up the knife
And feel the cold steel
I injure my life
With the pain that I feel.

Once again I'm lying
I still want to shout
Endlessly crying
As I bleed it out.

I'm not sure where this one came from...I wrote it at like 2 in the morning when I couldn't sleep...But I promise I'm not suicidal or anything...
