Close your eyes tightly
Let your mind drift away
to painful memories
of yesterday
Feeling the weight
in your chest drag you down
with unwanted thoughts
that you wish you could drown
Dark thoughts are heavy
They make your heart sink
but you'll soon be relieved of
these thoughts that you think
The horrible mess
tangled up in your mind
will before long be buried
with the way out you find
Close your eyes tighter
and breathe deeply in
Let the blade glide
across your skin
Exhale slowly
as chills run up your spine
Feel the calm relief
after all this time
