I Can but I Would Not

I can but, I won't
I took a look in my mirror then I asked.
Why do i have to wear this mask?
Glance at my wrist, saw the slash.
Fruit of my heart being so crushed.
Pieces of the mirror scattered around.
Blood and deafening silence, i heard it so loud.
That's what I always think and see in my head.
Imagining myself, living like dead.
I can stab my heart, bleed and die.
Or drown myself and look into sky.
I can hang my body in ceiling, with a rope.
Get overdose or eat a soap.
Surely, i can do it but i would never.
Cause the pain i feel won't be forever.
If this leaves a permanent mark.
Then I would try to live in the dark.

Although it feels like your life is doomed, it will not last forever.
The scar might, but you can carry it with you making you stronger.
It takes a strong one to not give up.. you have that.
Lorna, you literally took most of the words I had in my head right out before I could type them. So I second your comment. :)
This one is thought provoking. We all should be brave enough to face the challenges of life. Thanks for sharing.
Emotionally charged however, the last verse offers hope. Well written.
Pain is inevitable while suffering is optional.
poignant piece with dark emotion...
