Suicidal Tendencies

By Anonymous

Warm blood wraps itself around me
As I sit in the bathtub
Hoping someone finds you and rescues you
Rescues you from yourself
Suicidal tendencies come day and night
Night and day
I have no control over them as they flow in
Deep and shallow cuts mar my arms
As I sit in my room crying
He broke my heart again
But this time he left me
And he’ll never come back again
He’ll never be at my side when I fall over
My friends have told me over and over that it’s wrong and it’s stupid
But they, just as everyone else has, has walked away
I cannot control the way I feel
It’s his entire fault
It’s all her fault
Warm blood falls from me
And waltz’s down my arms
Then falling into the sink with a splatter
Every poem I write is a cry for help
But no one seems to know this so therefore I am screwed

Don't look back, just let it be. If you look back at the past, you'll never be happy with your future.

I've been going through the same thing, on a cycle, for almost 3 years now. If this truly is a cry for help, I understand. My poetry is also cries for help. One day someone understood that and I was in a mental hospital for a month. It helped, I'm mostly better now. I realize now that there is always someone who cares about me, even when it seems like I'm alone.
