Could not deal

Danielle Cristiano 1988 (Kingston)

Narrative
When all else fails
What do you do best?
To many feelings running through my head
My heart is pounding out of my chest,
I am having a hard time catching my breath!
My body wants to run from all of this
Yet my feet stay planted on the ground
I feel like I'm being torn in 2
What is going on?!
I look down and see a pool of blood on the ground
Look at my wrists and realize I'm bleeding now
Guess I slit my wrists once more
No time for a suicide note
Just when you find my body you know,
That I could not deal anymore
