i grip the razor blade in my hand
i sigh a breath of relief
that all this will be over soon
i take the blade w.my index finger and my thumb
i grip it firmly
and slide it across my skin... across veins full of blood...
across my wrist
across my throat...
i watch the blood trickle down
a flood that will be my death
soon it will be over
all the torture
all the pain
all of it starts to fade
as the blood loss takes its toll
i sit here in a maroon pool
content knowing it is all gone
and i die.
