Flickering in the Shadows

"Misunderstanding...self hate...is this my fate?
Yes I might be smiling, but inside I'm slowly dying, fading into eternal gray, shadows envelope my mind seizing this withered heart it takes me back to a familiar home,Biting into my skin the ink flows again...story of pain, one of fear...I feel alone with no one here, even my candle light is flickering its near, so I must bring this story to a end,letter left for angels to send,ink running dry I won't need to keep up my lie, no more pain...no more hate...I understand this fate..."

This piece reflects on how people have their own battles, their own pains. In the end some carry it through life to their grave, others make that grave come sooner. You shouldn't judge others if they choose suicide without understanding and being in their shoes.
