Letting Go

"Take a breath, and softly say goodbye"

I don't know how much longer
I can keep up this facade.
I fake a smile every day
Holding too many things inside.

I wish there was a way I could
Just let go of things I've bottled up.
But I feel as if I can trust no one
Because all they tell is gossip.

And though I know it's wrong
I take the blade to my skin.
It hurts just for a moment, but
I feel like I just can't win.

I watch the blood as it trickles down
I'm so light I could fly.
The world around me starts to fade
So I take a breath, and softly say goodbye.
