Nineteen

Last night, I had had my fill

All eighteen years of tears and pain

Formed in bicolored pills

As the house shook with the thundering rain

Nineteen, Nineteen little circles 

Could make me fall asleep

Next to me brushed a journal

Tears stained pages smudged the words carved deep

In my other held a silver blade

Red lines dotting my skin

And the reality starts to fade

Nineteen pages

Nineteen cuts

Nineteen pills

To never reach Nineteen years
