Death By Me Poem by Nicole Henson

this rage overcomes me

I want to scream and let frustration take me

take me and hold my soul in its grasp

to let it keep me there for eternity

its easier than fighting

I hate this world! I hate its beings!

why cant they all perish and leave me be! ?

criticism follows me

retracing my very steps... a stalker in my life

why cant you go die! ?

I carry myself with pride and confidence

then I go home and cry and rid myself of this pain another way

more pain....

and then all pain goes away and I’m free, dreaming my dreams...

am I crazy?

what’s that? a corner.... whose there! ? a tree...

I swear I saw something, lurking behind me

stealthy following me through the shadows...

within the shadows... will it kill me?

does it want me dead?

'What do you want! ? ' I call

no answer come from the shadows

'Who are you! ? ' still, no reply

is someone truly there? what am I thinking?

who am I? am I really me? is something inside me?

no, I feel no inward presence... what wrong with my head?

my family rejects me

friends believe I’m crazy.... no one knows me

I’m alone... can someone help me?

no one will answer.. of coarse not

there is no help for me...

I will just perish along with night

and I will lie by moonlight one last time

staring at the stars, as bats fly by

I feel a cool breeze... I hear a whisper...

I turn my head, knowing what awaits me...

and I die silently while my spirit kills me
