I Can't Escape my Own Mind
November 7, 2016
I'm a stranger
Trapped in my own mind
Trying to escape this Black Hole
I call Life...
I sit and watch as the blood trickles down my arm
Trapped in a world where all you see is harm
Wishing times would change
Doomed is what I am...BANG
The gun in my hand, the bullet in my head
Slowly fading away until I am dead.
Wondering as the last moments go by...
How many deaths of teenagers have to happen so people bat an eye?
Bullying is all I knew, self-harm and violence
Make a change, I beg of you, Please!
That way more and more people dont end up like me...

I personally love deep and depressing stories, and I think this was very well written. Keep writing!!
WARNING: This poem is dark and depressing, if you are personally dealing with something like suicide or self harm please call a help support system and do not read!
