how to die.

You take a breath, your movements slow

You close your eyes so your tears won’t show.

You bow your head so you won’t feel pain

You bite your lip and close your eyes again

On the edge, your face white like chalk

On your wrist, your eyes gaze at the clock

On the brink you hear their voices

On that night you’ve made your choices

In the darkness you feel the rain

In the moment it feels insane

In the daylight you fought the fray

In the silence you kept your demons at bay

You’ve taken a breath, your movements slow

You’ve closed your eyes and your tears don’t show

You’ve bowed your head and you don’t feel pain

You’ve bitten your lips and closed your eyes again
