    I've Made My Peace

    The anger dwells deep in my soul
    I'm tired of playing my life like a role
    Darkness swallows up all of my light
    My internal flame has abandoned the fight

    Every single night, I cry myself to sleep
    My smile and happiness have been buried too deep
    No hope do I see for the rest of my life
    And so I wander in search of a knife...

    Into the kitchen I silently plod
    As I make my peace with an immortal god
    The teeth on the blade so sharp and fine
    Straight to the sink, I've crossed the line

    Raising the knife, my hand is steady
    My mind all knowing that my soul is ready
    Wrist inside up, the knife takes a dive
    Death and oblivion will be slow to arrive

    The steel marrs the flesh of my wrist
    My hand betrays me and forms into a fist
    A steady stream of liquid life pours
    As I feel my life creep out the door

    Sunrise will see me dead and gone
    The mourners will sing their sorrowful songs
    But the sad, drear melody won't reach my ears
    While everyone there shall shed their tears

    OMG, this is such a sad poem. As I was reading, I was thinking it was going to take a turn and end up with the person changing their mind and finding a reason to live, but that didn't happen. I guess I just don't like poems without happy endings. Praying this was only a poem from a suicidal person's perspective and not something real in your life... wishing you peace in the midst of every storm...

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
