PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

looking down at the knife

as I

try to put things

out of my mind

I want to do it

I need

     to

       do

         it

but

there is something stopping

me

it could be the already

scarred vein

the blotches on my skin

that's telling me

that it's time to

                stop

looking at the lit cigarette

as I

try to put things into

perspective

happiness is just

                around

                      the

                         corner

isn't it?

there is something telling me

not to

burn my soul down

into the but of the nicotine

stick

I should stick it out

deal with things

better

     than

         this

happiness is

           just

               around

                     the    

                        corner

peeking at me

wondering what the hell am I doing to

myself

isn't it?

looking into the barrel of the

gun

wanting to shoot out my

problems

inside myself

within myself

there is something telling me

to turn it

around

shoot out the sky

instead

      and yet

I can't stop these feelings

of ending it  

all

trying to be what everyone else

wants me to be

someone other than me

is not easy

          and yet

something is telling me

happiness

happiness

happiness

        is

          just  

              around

                    the

                       corner

so

I'll wait for it...
