Degenerate

BloodPho3nix

Sitting in an empty room
Dark and alone
On a bed that feels like a tomb
In a room that smells of cheap perfume

Just one more, I keep telling myself
As I swallow another pill
As I put them back on the shelf
Taking enough to kill

These thoughts in my head
Trying to escape this hell that holds me
Wishing I was dead
How peaceful it would be

Still, I feel
There's nothing left for me here
These scars will never heal
If I let go, there will be nothing left to fear

    After reading this the first time I went back to read your other three poems as well. You are a gifted writer! Just keep on writing and don't do anything stupid, like dying. I am serious, you do have what it takes!

    • BloodPho3nix

      Thank you so much, Fred! It means a lot.

      But consider ... what if it isn't over when you check out of this lifetime? What if you've just blown a chance to advance your soul? Just saying what many believe, Blood. And yes, you are a good poet.

        there is always
        something called
        sometimes.
        if you need help
        just write

        did you put them back on the shelf
        AFTER taking enough to kill?
        read your poem again.
        sometimes it all feels different
        people love you.
        do you love them back?
