Limits
Eyes open, awoken from my sleep,
Feeling restless, no sense of calm I can keep.
Am I alone now, is it just me?
So many voices in my head, can they see me?
I beg for some peace here, someone to help,
My heart wills me, but my head starts to melt.
I’m in a blur now, feeling cold and empty,
Willing a stillness to wash over me.
I’m at my limit now, enough is enough,
I can’t live this way, it’s too tough!
In front of the mirror I stand, my image is blank,
Angry marks on my arms, a heart that has sank.
A means to an end, not to survive,
A rope around my neck, towards a stillness I must dive.
A bottle of emotions, at last is let flow free,
I float into the sky, released, my soul shall be.
