I seem to be writing a lot of poems lately :O I spent a lot of time on this one though, even though it’s so short :) all comments are appreciated :)

My back aches,

My chest burns,

I can hardly breath.

I know what I must do,

but I can’t.

To face reality would hurt more,

so I hold on,

until my vision blurs,

and I have no choice but to give in.

Bringing the blade past my arm,

I cut the binds, freeing my chest.

A tear escapes, not for the pain,

but for my mind.
