Suicide

in my mouth
like tainted blood
the taste of the defeat
that i never even considered
not once did i imagine
that i could lose
never thought
i'd be the one to surrender
but what can i do?
i can't fight forever
outnumbered by two
and there's so many more
grown so tired
so weary inside
and everything i'd fought for
just seems so empty now
and what good is winning
when it just starts another war?
defeated
not because "they're" better
or smarter or stronger
only because
there are generations of "them"
and only one of me
"they'll" be here long after i am gone
delusions erased
no more hollow goals to reach
meanings misplaced
like the trust i once had
so many helping hands
when they weren't needed
but now that i could sorely use an army
i'm met with stares of indifference
"they" stand across
the field of battle
psychological guns
aimed at my face
but i won't return fire anymore
step out
arms out
inviting "their" bullets
embracing the end
but "they" never fire
because "they" don't want to kill me
"they" only want to hurt me
disgusted at the failure
of my enemies
i do the only thing
i was ever expected to do
reaching deep inside myself
grabbing my heart with both hands
all my "friends" look on
feigning a look of worry
(if only i could make them feel...)
sinking my fingers
into my bleeding heart
tearing it to pieces
to match my war-torn mind
fall to my knees
then my face hits the ground
feeling as cold and empty
as everything i once cared for
(there is no way to win
there never is
everything you fight for
will abandon you in the end
there is only one way out
accept defeat
and let go of it all)
