A poem I made for my school poetry contest.
The darkness engulfs me,
A gnawing sensation.
Slowly,
Eating away.

The pain grows,
Voices call out.
Why?
It was all my fault.

My mind leaves me,
My body fails me.
My breathing slows,
My life,
Slipping away.

Useless to struggle,
Nowhere to run.
The end is near.
I’m caught.

The Lies that I’ve told,
The hearts I’ve broken.
Now it’s my turn,
I pray.
