If You only Knew

Author: Unknown

This art may be taboo to you
One slice, two, more I pursue

I aim to be free,
To be numb of this pain in me

Here’s a thought or two,
Let this intricate plan be my debut

I’ll bleed it all out, on the floor I lay,
Progress towards this life I slay

When asked “how are you?”
I’ll reply, “if only you knew”

I crack a smile as I die inside,
‘cause no one knows I’m a beautiful suicide.

About this poem:

The thought of suicide can seem so intriguing when Pain is the only truth ever known. What I wouldn't do to be FREE, to change this reality.
With two failed attempts myself- my thoughts have evolved from "A second chance at death" to "one more at life"
for now...it remains "one more at life"

Cold and Dark, like the pain inside of us all at on point or another.

I hope it stays one more at life.

Please if you need some one, email me.

Also, you have a friend - me. I do not have email @ home and am only online @school or the Library, but I care and will get back to you. I am deaf so I cannot talk on the phone but I text. If you want my number, I will email it to you.

Thank you for the kind gesture. However, as the time being, I'm currently not in that "hole" but frequently fall in.
Thank you for reading.

well spoken, we do hide our inner self at times with a smile do we not.

That's the beauty of writing. Through words spoken on paper, true emotions are expressed. Emotions that need to be expressed, yet when another reads such written emotions, people are able to connect on a much truer/deeper level. Thank you!
