I feel like slitting my wrist
watching the blood ebb away in tiny droplets
until the sheets are red.
I feel like popping pills
one by one until the bottle is empty
it wouldn't do to gulp them all at once
because you would just throw up.
I feel like walking into oncoming traffic at rush hour
seeing the split second before the darkness
and then no more.
but mostly I feel like cutting myself
just cutting
tracing lines of blood with a razorblades
physical manifestation of emotional pain
watching it flow just flow
feeling the release
pain-release
I feel like going to the ocean
my favourite place on the edge of the cliff
and just falling
falling
into nothingness
the ending of all pain.
But mostly
I feel like slitting my wrist.
