One Shot Poem by Amanda Allsteadt

One shot
That's all it will take
To end my pain
Rid me of the noise

He tells me that he loves me
He's disappointed
To see me like this
All I can think is sure

Let me show you how I feel
Through my poetry
Let me teach you about me
The only way I know how

Writing is my passion
But I inser the pen
Hopefully one day
It will poison me

Writing is not a hobby
Writing is an art
Living is not needed
It's a choice

Let me go
Let me go
I don't want to be here
Anymore

Dear God
Do you think you can use
A damaged angel?
A broken body?

(January 4th,2011. Written both because this is how I feel right now and because one of my friends told me he wishes he could die and become an angel right now because it would be easier than going home every day.)
