No words can describe
The rage that I felt
As I watched, and half-listened
My heart sprung a welt.
My pulse increased
Blood shot through my veins
These small irritations
Brood immeasurable pains.
Never before had I felt such a feeling
The way I reacted was in no way appealing.
I tried to ignore, and I oft looked away
But the harder I tried, the more words were to say.
Calm down, deep breaths, count backwards from ten
But the volume increased, and I heard them again.
Never before have I pictured a knife
Leaving my hands to end someone's life
I've heard it before, but now it rang true
Some people are daft, and don't think what they do.
With nowhere to go, I took my breaths deeper
No luck, I've gone mad, I wish for the reaper.
These moments of silence inside of my mind
Are hastening the process of my sanity's decline.
Not one person realized, how close to the edge-
I must find an exit, I jump from the ledge.
I land on my feet, sense incredible heat
My heart, it is racing - My person, beat.
I surrender, I give, you may say what you will.
I'm done with this game, as we've all had our fill.
Will the days brighten? They're so bright they burn!
I'm no longer with you, for a lesson I've learned.
