You hear the screams inside your head

No one else does

You have all these voices in your head talking all at once

No one else does

You’re lost, confused and lonely

No one else is

You’re border-line delusional and suicidal

No one else is

Your opinion doesn’t count

Everyone else’s does

You’re on the verge of breaking down

You cry yourself to sleep every night

You’re insignificant in a sea of people

You lose yourself in your bid to find something to live for in this world

You’re a nobody, a nonentity

Wallowing in self-pity

Crawling on your hands and knees

Away from everyone, away from this world

The ambiance is too much, too stifling

Unwanted, unwelcome, and discontented

Just taking up space on this planet

Who even cares,

If you’re here one moment

And gone the next

Maybe, just maybe…

It’s about time somebody did

Tears streaming, down your face

As you realize, that sadly, they never will…

There, that’s the little push over the edge you needed

Now you’re on your way, to your decline

Falling into a dark abyss, plummeting into nothingness

Where nothing matters anymore

Where you finally find peace from the agony

It just took a flash of metal, to end it all

To stop the hurt coursing through you everyday

To grant you the relief you so badly desired

Now that you’re no more

Everyone gushes over your loss

They all wonder why you did it

What made you carry out such an act

And in your search to end it all,

You’ve finally made them notice you

Suddenly you’re not so inconsequential anymore

And all it took was a piece of metal,

Blood rushing forth in a torrent

And all it took was slitting your wrists

Cutting too deep, cutting yourself into oblivion

Severing all ties altogether

It’s ironic how they only noticed you were there

Once you ceased to exist at all…
