You will die by your by your own hands
Alone on a campus surrounded by people
Wondering how it came to this.
You will die going through the day having no one to talk to
Feeling alone, no one acknowledging your existence
You will die slowly step by step on a concrete floor
Dragging yourself through this mundane existence
You will die with your heart crying for attention
And your eyes yearning to see someone other than yourself
But no one comes and you are alone
Tempted to take a pill to end it all
One pill to change it all
To pass you on to a place where you are not alone
You feel the urge to stay
But realize who will miss you when you’re gone
No one.
You will die by your own hands
Taking the pill you tried to resist
Feeling the effect slowly take over your body
First your feet then your legs, your arms, your chest
As you finally close your eyes for good
You see someone coming and think its death and his followers
But realize it’s you
The essence of who you were
