Here I lie
On my bed
With the pills
In my hand.
My head throbs,
As I try to recall.
My heart beats rapidly
Inside my chest.
Panic erupts;
And memories flash
Before my groggy eyes.
I pray with tears
For the last time ever.
Pill after pill;
I swallowed until
I became nauseous.
My head falls into my
Shaking hands.
The pills numb me
From this hell.
I pull my hair,
And grind my teeth.
What went wrong?
I don't want this.
I want out.
Hot tears fall,
As I break down
Once more.
I just want to be saved.
I received the Perfect Poet Award from Thursday poets rally and I hereby accept this with gratitude.

A cry for help that came a bit too late--often realisation strikes when we have gone too far to come back-then moments of sharp regret and yet another life wasted. Would love to have your comments on a similar poem.

Also check out my "Attempted" poem ... And remember life is a beautiful thing!
It is a sadness to despair so. A wish to all for happiness and joy.
So much pain in this one. How sad to see so much hopelessness.
Sadness of what if's and realizations come too late caught in these words. Well captured!
You've expressed desperation very well and the desire for someone to come along and save you. I hope they did!
Thanks for visiting my poem earlier.
