A Poem of Release
I drift away into the screams
They fade to white noise
I hear only the voices in my head
Help
Where did they all go
They said they would stay
I thought this time would be different
Wasn’t I getting better
What did I do
I get so close but remain so far
Why me
When will things change
Do people change
Is it worth it
I give up
Empty
Life moves slow
I pause in the moment and look around
Like a blackhole I begin to fade to nothing
I cascade into the darkness
Gravity pushing down on me like the hand of God
I look to him for release
Goodbye
Nooses draped on the bed
Happy pills dreaming on the shelf
Plastic bags with faces on them
Blood splashed on the walls
Body limp resting on the floor
Eyes staring into the stars
Silence
Relief
Finally I can breathe
Finally I smile
Finally I see the light
FInally I feel the warmth
The sun is radiant and I feel the light
Washing over me I am a goddess
I am free
