Need Help- 2009

 

Her head is pounding

Her body is shaking

Her eyes are bloodshot

“One more drink, One more hit “

She tells herself, but one turns into six

Seven, eight, nine, ten

She feels like she floating on air

Eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen,

Will this ever end?

 Sixteen, seventeen,

She can’t feel anymore

 Ah! The perfect moment let's take this opportunity.

Blade in hand

 Slice one, this is for everything I ever said

Blood drips …

Slice two, this is for everything you ever said

Blood gushes

Slice three, blood gushes instantly

 Slice four, for all those sleepless nights

 Slice, five, six, seven, eight

 Puddles of blood everywhere

 She pops some pills,

Wow-what a thrill

 Slice nine, ten will this ever end?

Fuck! She pours another drink chugs it back

Gets up, walks outside

 Walking down the road

 Blade in one pocket, gun in the other

Walk, walk, walk

Blood gushing out her wrists

She falls to her knees, pops a few more

Struggling to get up

She falls again

She sees a light up ahead

 She can’t move

 It’s coming closer

 She struggles to the side of the road

The car stops someone comes out

Sees the blood, her bloodshot eyes

Calling 911

An ambulance comes

She's in the hospital

 Her life hanging on a thread

Bandages wrapped around her bloody wrists

She finally says

“ I need help. “
