The Lesson

Before

All I have to do

Is cut a little deeper

The razor going further

Into my skin

Cut

A

Little

Deeper

Until all the

Pain and frustration

I feel

Fades away

The Aftermath

Awakened to the sight

Of not what was expected

The worst part

Is not the feel

Of wanting to die

But knowing

You failed at life

And failed at death

And what comes after

The Realization

Here

Back to the place

That gave me

All the horrible thoughts

Of myself

And the people

Who influence

My view on life

I realized that

It is not as

Bad as I remember

And that

I

Will

Be

O.K.
