Falling

I think I am falling.
What's standing, when you fall your whole life.
When I land, I know it will hurt.
Now I long for it.
I want my legs to snap under me.
I want to feel my ribs break under the pressure.
I want my arms to twist grotesquely.
I want to laugh then.
I'll gurgle up blood and smile.
The rocks will pierce me and I'll smile.
The feelingof numbness will disappear.
All I'll feel is the sharp pain.
The gasping of breath.
The whisper of a prayer
and the scream that is not my own.
I want to touch my blood.
I want to bathe in it.
Blood...
I've seen so much.
Grandma's as her face was blown apart.
Brain splattered on me.
I didn't scream.
I just watched the blood.
Under the sheets on New Years.
Past my tears and humiliation,
that's my blood.
My sister's blood on my shirt
as her nose dripped from my accident.
Blood...
So it should end in my own.
I wonder how it'd taste.
I wonder how it'd feel.
Crimson, my blood should be black.
Then again, I may slice my wrist here,
just to check.
Just to see
if I am still alive.

Or wait until the crash and tumble,
and let the blood atone for my sins.

A/N: Oh god, I still have my depressing poems. I thought I might have lost it. Anyway, this is my life in a nutshell. Thanks for reading, and I pray that none of this ever happens to you.

Wow. This is dark stuff emotional, but dark. Some would say cliche emo, but I have felt that. It is far from cliche. You totally sum it all up here, and no matter who else reviews this or what they say, this it beautifully real. This is truth. Great job.
