Giving In

A poem about not wanting to fight anymore.

This is my response to day 24 of the Halls of Pandemonium. Today’s challenge was to write a story or poem inspired by an article from WikiRoulette. I clicked through a few article until I stumbled on the entry for the song “Giving In” by Adema. I decided to go with the concept of giving in and this is what came to mind.

TRIGGER WARNING: SUICIDAL IDEATION

I have no more
blood to shed
so this should
be quick and clean

When I open my eyes
all I will see is
Black--no sun
or moon or starry sky

I will finally know
Peace in that
eternal loneliness
that forever quiet

I am far beyond
a timid goodbye
I am far beyond
hestiation marks

I am committed
I have decided
I will not change my mind

I cannot change my mind
