Death & Darkness

Darkness settles around me,

I wish it would swallow me up.

It would feel better than pain,

The pain that is overwhelming me.

Hurt is all around

Pushing me down,

I feel that I will never get up,

The pain is overwhelming me.

Everything looks dead,

The planet is dead.

I will join the dead soon,

The pain is overwhelming me.

I want to be gone,

I don't feel like living.

Life is too painful,

And I am weak.

Is it wrong to want to die?

I think not,

Especially when you can offer nothing

To anyone around you.

I am empty

My body cries in pain

Death would be welcome,

Darkness would be lovely.

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
