Death Didn't Succeed
4 November, 2005
Author: Taylor James
today i nearly died
but death didn't succeed
i took a few pills
then made then made myself bleed.
the reason why i do it
you wont understand
i do it because i have an addiction
that doesn't have any solution.
its my only way to relieve my pain,
they all say im stupid
just because i cut my arms
but they dont know the relief i get
with the blades charms.
i take pills to end my life
so i dont have to live in constant strife
fighting this battle each and everyday
can i ask you, why this pain doesnt go away?
whatever i do is never enough
so i need to cut
to get away from the pain
but not yet has the pain gone away
not even to this day
------- Author's Notes -------
it seems that no matter what i do the pain is always the same |

You've defeated the one thing that tried to win you over, and look at you now. I'm glad it didn't succeed, regardless of how bad you may want to end your life...you're here for a reason Taylor. Beautiful! P.S. You don't mind if I call you Teeej do you? |
