Suicide Note
It was sad when the
Butterflies turned to dust that
Changed the world to grey
It was depressing
When the rivers stopped flowing
And the flowers died
It was horrible
When I realized that I couldn't
Breathe any longer
But it was the end
When I found I had caused my
Own apocalypse
So I took my life
With the ease of a sharp knife
And relished the pain

Strong Facade
You kept telling yourself you're a fighter
a warrior
a soldier
gladiator
But all you have is glass as an armor
Easily broken
Cracked
Fractured
You say you don't really care
Passive
Apathetic
Emotionless
But just one word you stumble
Totter
Crumble
and Fall
You kept on ironing out
things for them
But you always just
end up
With black
burnt holes
