AS DARKNESS FALLS

AS DARKNESS FALLS

AND ALL LIFE IS GONE,

I REALIZE

I'M ALL ALONE.

EVERY WAY I LOOK,

EACH WAY I TURN,

IT SEEMS THE PAIN,

ONLY RETURNS.

SO MUCH PAIN,

SO MUCH REGRET,

AND ALL I THINK,

ABOUT IS DEATH.

SO MANY WAYS,

TO END IT ALL.

I CAN'T GO ON

AS LONG AS I FALL.

I'M A FAILURE!

I HATE MY LIFE!

I HATE THE AGONY,

AND THE HORRIBLE STRIFE!

THINGS ARE SO MORBID!

CAN'T I JUST END IT

AND FALL TO THE FLOOR?

EACH LONG DAY,

EVERY LONG NIGHT,

MY ANGER GROWS STRONGER,

AND HAPPINESS IS NOW LIGHT.

DEATH SEEMS EASIER!

JUST ENDING IT ALL,

MAKING IT ALL GO AWAY,

JUST AS SOON,

AS DARKNESS FALLS!

Author's Notes/Comments: 

SOMETIMES, DEATH SEEMS LIKE THE BEST WAY OUT OF A HORRIBLE SITUATION, OR EVEN LIFE ITSELF. HOWEVER AFTER WRITTING THIS POEM, I FELT BETTER ABOUT MYSELF.  I KNEW THAT IN WRITTING MY FEELINGS DOWN, THE PROBLEM WAS LESS INTENCE. I ALSO REALIZED THAT DEATH IS THE COWARDS WAY OUT.
