I have tried, but I have failed

This knife against my neck

Is slowly slashing through my skin

And I know soon enough

I'll need find my way out of this mess.

The tragedy of life is in front of me

As blood trickles down my neck

As I hear the ticking of the merciless clock

Any second, minute, day, or week-

The Prince of Death will come knocking at my door.

And so with tears in my eyes

I will let loose everything that holds me back;

With a heavy-almost sobbing-sigh

I will tightly grip on this knife's handle

And unfashionably disembowel this earthly body-

With one stab, a cry-

I only tried to be happy and free

With another, disappointment-

I tried to live my life well

With a third, a chuckle-

I tried to survive, but can't

With the last, a voiceless scream-

I tried not to hurt anymore...

I tried...

But I failed.
