The Stupidest Mistake I Ever Made
As I write you today
I have to wipe my tears away
They slowly drip wetting this page
I can’t help but feel sadness and rage
My heart hurts because of you
I’ve made my decision there’s nothing you can do
I really am going through with this
I’ve done it before just look at my wrist
Except this time I’m going all the way
You can’t stop me, there’s nothing you can say
The page on which I write is soaked
The pain I feel inside is forever cloaked
But as I write the tears continue to fall
Now I’m on the floor, leaning against the wall
I sit with my head between my knees
God will you take away the pain please
My whole life is spiraling out of control
It hurts so bad, I’m no longer whole
I trace the line up and down my arm
There’s no worry to be alarmed
By the time you notice I’ll no longer be
This life changing decision is left all on me
I have just released all the pain in my life
It’s sad knowing it’s because of the knife
I’m use to the pain and blood by now
But its never been this bad I think I need a towel
I’m starting to feel a little light headed
In my dying mind your picture is embedded
It’s the last thing I see before entering the light
I open my eyes to a room full of white
White walls, white floors
White pads and white doors
I’m finally in the place I need to be
Someplace to help me gain my sanity
I’ll spend the next couple of months in this custom jacket
This is much better than the inside of a casket
Now that I look back nothing was worth risking my life
The stupidest decision I made involved that knife
I regret it ever popping into my head
I now love my life
I’m glad I’m not dead
I’ll just have to move on from you
It seems like the most logical thing to do
