A Drowning Death

I drown in sorrow I make it painful and now I’m sorry.
The water so clear
pouring into that tub
a welcoming shine
the waters sound
as it hits the bottom

Turn off the tap
silence
I’m home alone
everyday
no one will even notice
that I’ve drowned
the water calling
its surface now smooth

No one has to know it’s suicidal
I’m dying anyways
might as well go painfully
I break my arm
break my leg
slice my wrists
slice my neck
screaming
and crying
echoing
off the four walls

I hear the door open
with my last breath

my head sinks
my mom screams
my dad cries
I’ve never seen him
do that before

A note on the mirror
"I can’t take this life further
I cant live a normal life
any longer
so forgive me please
as I say my goodbyes"
