Your mind starts running all on its own,
not even going to give you a heads up.
The body becomes slackened with grief,
and time seems to slow down to piss you off.
Waking up to go to work doesn't feel mandatory
because your thoughts are taking over now.
So, a shower becomes a task which is pointless,
I mean if you're going to die, why be clean?
Soon breathing trickles down to nothing
as sleep takes over an unused decaying body.
Little laughter escapes as rational thought explodes
because now your mind is dueling out the emotions.
Do I take the chance and try to care
or will life be easier if I just died?
When the mind plays tricks,
the body seems too lazy,
and your emotions are off,
well all I have to say is this-
Can you keep coming back for more?

Just thoughts to ponder while you're thinking suicide. Normally this is what is thought, well more noticed while you think this.
Just a cool picture.

I agree with Char-Char... I've never cut myself, but I have still contemplated taking my own life many times. I remember all too well the feelings of hopelessness and the monotonousness of everyday things, wondering if anyone would ever give a damn if I did throw in the towel... At that point, though, it was hardly life anyway. I was simply existing.
Anyway, this brought me back to a time I rather wanted to forget, but... I guess that's a good thing for this contest
Well done, and thanks for entering!
