Any Way Out

Wishing to disappear
For black to envelope her body as a whole
Ultimate level of peace
One cut at a time

The message is clear to all
Fragments of a life strewn
Inhaling the water of the air
Permanent reminders of the pain
Etched in skin in her memory

Trying to heal
Wanting for feelings to return
Numb is the cover
Not feeling just floating

What is thought of as self preservation
Is just self destruction
Chaos abounds the body has weakened
Punctures revive reality for a moment
Still here she is

Blood stained tears
Holding down the fears
Streaming for all corners

Seeking relief of the purest form
Reaching out can nobody hear
They just stand around to look
Empty stares empty faces
As fragile as a shell

Wishing for a cloud to clear
Darkness comforts
Darkness pains
To step out would be treason
Hoping for an understanding.
