I pop a pill
I take a long draw
Of my burning cigarette
puffing smoke rings
the air is filled with them
I pick up my razor
deadly sharp
gleaming silver
I try to decide
where to cut
I choose
my upper arm
blood dribbles red
as I feel the pain
my scream echos
no one comes
no one saves me
I cry in fear
I don't want to die
then I pass away
into a better life

Bella this is incredibly powerful! It gives incredible insight into the hurt of a suicidal person. However, I certianly hope this is not a suicde note.
