Suicide note...

With my skin open wide
How could I commit suicide?
As my tears fall, you will smile
How could you ignore my cries?
While I bleed, this is the reason why...
As my angel tries to walk me two steps forward
The demons drag me three steps backwards
I have a selfish romance with a razor blade
I'm sick of choosing between love and hate
Overthinking gets me down
Voices are a numbing sound
A vision of me buried underground
No going to heaven, no devil's allowed
As I drain of what looks like a merlot red
Is this a cry or do I really want to be dead?
As my hand turns to solid stone
I'm hovering above like a forgiving soul
Hello society, do you care if I live?
I'm hollow because I always give
I'm starting to see a light with my mother standing there
Shall I succumb to the end and walk up them stairs?
I'm sorry mam, not this time, I have to live a worthy life
I might be in times of struggle but I'm not giving up my fight
I'm still a man
I'm still a person
I'm still a dad
Fire still burning
Round and round I could go
But somehow I'll find home
Writing these words keeps me going
You reading them,
Thanks.
I'm no longer alone
This is my self help
No longer a suicide note
No longer...

Thanks Tehmina ?
It does feel very therapeutic to write and share our woes with others. Especially when readers are empathetic to our situation and encourage us through their reviews.
Writing a poem and having it go virtually unread feels a lot like unrequited love--as if no one gives a damn.
I'm beginning to feel a lot like that here lately at Cosmo.
Nice writing, Wayne; an emotionally driven piece.
