As The Sun Rises

TW: passive suicidal ideation


Waking up in the morning,

Every day it’s the same

As the sun rises,

Death calls my name


It started with a whisper,

A lulliby in my ear

Saying this can all end,

You don’t have to be here


That I could be squashed,

Like a bug on a wall

That it would be such a relief,

To not be here at all


But as the day goes on,

I climb out of despair

Unintentionally distracted,

With a laugh here, a win there


But when I’m alone,

The demons come back

And I sink overwhelmed,

Into a numbness attack


Not able to move,

Or do, or think

Just wanting to flush out my thoughts,

With a stiffly poured drink


But don’t worry, these desires,

Won’t go anywhere

Because it would hurt others too much,

If I ever went there


So I just spend days picking daisies,

Plucking their petals right off

Hoping for rescue,

Because I’m too soft


I care too little,

But also way too much

My personal armor is glass,

And it breaks at the touch


So I forgot where I put them,

My fight, my drive

And now I’m totally indifferent,

About staying alive


So now I’m just existing,

Ending another long day

Knowing that tomorrow will go,

Exactly the same way


Waking up in the morning,

Every day it’s the same

As the sun rises,

Death calls my name












A/n: Not a cry for help. Just a way to a give a voice to these feelings. And anyone who feels this way should seek help. No one is alone 💜
