No Fear

i do not fear a gunshot

for i'm in love with blood

i have no fear of drowning

i'm always in a flood

i do not fear being hung

there's no breath in my lungs

i do not fear an overdose

it's already been done

i do not fear the fall

the best is yet to come

i do not fear the pain

for my body is numb

i do not fear the knife

nothings left to be bled

i no longer fear this life

for i'm already dead

Another Suicide

Another blood stained towel

Another cut to hide away

Another drop of blood

Another lie for her to say

Another puffy blister

Made with another cigarette

Another burn to cover up
So no one sees just yet

Another slip up of her sleeve

Another phone call home

Another psych ward for this child

Another long, dark night alone

Another day, Another doctor

Another God-damned diagnosis

Another label for her pain

Another name for her psychosis

Another second of madness

Another minute in pain

Another hour of emptiness

Another day- insane

Another sleepless night

Lying awake in fear

Another day, too tired
To hide the oncoming tears

Another "disease", Another "cure"

Another prescription to go fill

Another visit to the pharmacy

Another psychotropic pill

Another sickened soul

Another cut was how she died

Another funeral to plan

Another suicide
