Suicidal Cleansing

Suicidal Cleansing

The gun to my head 
Pulling the trigger I hear click 
Dud
At that moment.... 
A flower bloomed in my heart 

The tears racing down my cheeks
Carrying all my burdens with them 
Smell, sight, and taste 
Seem at the high sense 

The view I captured through my mind's camera
Decolorize
Vanishing the darkness that lingered
Rigorous self hatred 

Now reunited with passion 
Smoothing out my rough edges
Like God's hand is behind the sand paper 
Opening my brains locked doors 

Clearing out that skeleton of death out the closet
Making plenty space for magnitude of greatness 
To evict my minds confusion 

Giving back total control 
Collecting the keys to life 
Kicking out my head's bad tenants 
Becoming the landlord of me again 

Now no longer neighbors of the noisy demons

Hey as always it's a pleasure bro! Thanks!
well I've never tried to kill myself. I knew a guy once who told me he did, and the bullet was a dud. So I would write about it , and write what I would of thought in that moment. Thanks again!

Thanks! I wouldn't suggest anyone one to commit suicide, but I thought it was a pretty intense. For someone to go through that, and make it through. Then turn it around for a blessed second chance.
