The Best Poem Of Holly Greene

Peace

A cold ticking, the hours pass like days, but the days like seconds
The dark stirring of my insides urge me to release them outwards
One cut, two cut, three cut, four
It only hurts more
I can see my blood on the floor
All the while I can only think of the reasons why
I was rejected, unwanted, my self hate incriminating
I want to die
But when the darkness closes in I cry out
'Help, please help!
Put an end to the suffering, empty my soul of this dark could of depression
Pour out my hate, my turmoil into a drain and let it flow out'
But nobody hears, nobody cares
I'm all alone and there's no one left to carry me out of my sorrow
So I close my eyes
No one hears the silent cries of a lost child waiting for someone to pick them up and bring them home
I'm all alone in my world
The ones who cared left or can't get in
And the ones who are here next to me try but the bring me down the wrong path.
I feel their touch, hear their words, am bathed in their love
But their touch is that of fire, their words of static, and their love of acid coating my skin and peeling it back
All that's left is a charred, lost, forgotten corpse
And as i walk down my dark path I see more like me
And we try to help one another, but we're scarred from the past, touch only hurts us more
One broken body to another we plea for help that none can give
We ask for touch that burns
For love that scars
For hope, all too valuable, but far too gone
Then there is a light, a brilliant light illuminating everything
I look up to see this light, reach out to touch it
It moves, and I follow
Then it stops, tempting me to touch
I reach, stretching my arm to it's white glow
I see my skin heal, the scars fade, and the cuts close
Then as quickly as it appeared it was gone and I only hurt worse
I made a choice, a permanent solution to a never ending problem
I lay down and swallow the pills, drink the alcohol, cut my wrists, and tie the noose
Then the light comes back and I hear a sound
'Don't go, please don't leave. I can help, I promise.'
But it's too late, I'm already gone.
All I can do is close my eyes and smile
As I drift into eternal peace.
