Breaking Point
By: Casey Velarde
I scream loud at the top of my lungs
Wishing and hoping for a reply
But all I hear is silence
And then I ask…why?
To be left all alone
Without a soul in sight
Might as well pull the trigger
And walk into the light
A calm and serene place
One much unlike this
The pressures of everyday life
I sure wouldn’t miss
I’m standing at the ledge
Ready to commit
But my feet won’t move
I can’t go through with it
Searching for someone to talk to
This is BRREAKING POINT here
Need someone to listen
So I don’t do what I fear
Just listen to me
And hear what I have to say
This may get hard
So be prepared to pray
I get this thought
And I think it a lot
About taking a gun
And putting it to my head
Pulling the trigger
And having the blood spread
It’s the easiest way
The quickest route
To escape all of the pressures
And to just get out
Maybe that’s not the answer
Just all pretend
What I need now
Is a really good friend
To listen to these feelings
I’ve kept inside
So maybe now,
I won’t commit suicide
Wishing and hoping for a reply
But all I hear is silence
And then I ask…why?
To be left all alone
Without a soul in sight

A calm and serene place

The pressures of everyday life
I sure wouldn’t miss
I’m standing at the ledge
Ready to commit

I can’t go through with it
