Deaths Gallows : Adult Poetry

A moment of madness, a moment so low

When life was once happy and I managed to grow.

Surrounded by people I don’t really know

Escaping the normal and entering deaths gallows.

Trying to blend in so confused and scared

“Go on try it” was all I heard.

The pain and the filth as I pushed syringe in

Felt itchy and cold but calmness within.

The sickness, the sweats, the stealing, the lies

I’m facing the devil look deep in his eyes.

I can’t reach normality, once it was grim

Now, I wish I never gave in.

Theft, paranoia, living in shame

No one to turn to, but I am to blame.

I just can’t see daylight please help me choose life?

Desperate to leave this but cant find the

Right road to go down and people to trust

The hits worth more than anything I lust.

Please help me! I’m sorry for all the pain caused

Escaping deaths gallows I struggle and fall.

I started so young and thought I was so strong

Giving up this infinity is so fucking long.

People of any age drawn to this heat

Drawn to this holiday, please god just retreat.

Now that I’m edgy, skinny, living in dirt

One beautiful moment caused massive hurt.

Not only in my life, but in others to

Take the advice, get help, pull through

Black eyes and gauntness, my body lies crude

Anything I’ll do now to get close to you

I never thought I would get this way

I stepped over the line of insanity.

Its not worth that moment

Its not worth that fix

Please look at me now

Remember this script.
