The Demons Within

I bow my head in defeat with overwhelming shame.
Knowing that my now mingled life only I'm to blame.
As I struggle to fight my Demon's within
I only find peace at the mere thought of giving in
I ponder and cringe as these racings thoughts build
Though one recurring thought simply won't yield
One of complete silence, still, and cold
Never more to suffer, fight, or grow old
A warm sensation covers me like a blanket from head to toe
Merely sliding the cold blade against my skin, to know
Soon the warm red substance would gush from my gaping wound.
Exsanguinating with every drop till alas I have nothing left.
Merely blinding darkness, followed by a flash.
As my last breath escapes my lips, an overwhelming feeling of peace,
I'm serene. Here's my everlasting sleep, no more to rise.
For after a long farewell and adui I reach a peaceful demise
My Demon's are gone no more to fight
I can finally rest and have a long awaited good night.
I hear a voice before I slip away,
a tiny cry, begging... mommy please stay.
I open my eyes and there's my beautiful daughter,
her eyes open as I wipe a tear from her cheeks.
I tell her she saved me, so this promise I make.
I tell her I'll fight and give it my all,
if she'll stay by my side and always stand tall.
This teardrop from this daughter of mine,
will be the last shed due to the harbored remorse,
they will no longer commandeer my thoughts.
So I say...
For a single teardrop can hold a world of hate.
So we both let a single tear fall and let if rest where it dries.
Knowing now I'll overcome anything with her by my side.
