Empty Liberation

Topic:
Suicide
|
On the outside I appear somewhat normal
An unwilling poster-child for conformity
Yet another pasty face in a faceless crowd
But what burns inside is slowly killing me
What lurks within is a disease no pill can cure
What eats me from the inside, I cannot heal
The only physical evidence is scars on my wrists
Destructive signs of the emotional pain I feel
I feel empty, like a lifeless, soulless vessel
I know I can stop the pain, there’s only one way
I close my eyes and visualise life without pain
And it is beautiful. And I know I cannot stay
My bullets; metallic tickets to a life without pain
My pistol; a passport to an existence free of sorrow
I shed a tear, knowing that I am leaving a lot behind
But I know I cannot live through another tomorrow
My temple tastes the cold iron of the pistol’s chamber
I pull the hammer back with a single resonating click
I feel my fingers embrace the gun’s unforgiving trigger
And with one tug, life’s candle reaches the end of its wick
