The darkness taking a hold
Suffocating my every thought
The shortness in my breath
Making the feeling of numb more real
My life being sucked away
Being drained of happiness and light
No way of knowing which way to go
Blood draining from my open wrists
The sweet crimson blood
Mixing with sadness of my tears
Letting the pain flow away
The pills killing everything inside
My heart begins to flutter
Barely a beat within a beat
Only a minute to go before i can be free again
Free to spread my chained wings and take flight
The seconds tick by and i begin to see past memories
Happiness and laughter once filled my life
But i'm done with that now
Five seconds left
TICK TICK TICK
It's done its over with
My feeling of numbness is gone
My pain has subsided
Laying in blood and tears
My life ends
The chains that have held me prisoner for so long
Finally break, allowing my wings to spread
I take flight, away from here
To a place that is of only happiness
Don't mourn me when i am gone
Never feel like you could have saved me
It was my decision and mine alone
I made it and now i live with it
Understand that i finally ended the battle
Before the battle ended me

Loved it, and of course I can definitely relate to the central character here. The "TICK TICK TICK" grasped my attention and made me want to read on. Keep up the great work!
