I stare into the reflection that is cast
I used to know the figure upon it
But as I gaze into its soul I no longer see hopes and dreams
Darkness and emptiness is all that remains
As I tilt the blade I see the figures lips
A smirk comes upon them
A smirk not from happiness
But a smirk of insanity
The thought of the blade brushing against the skin as it peels back brings laughter
I gently press the blade against my throat, eyes closed tightly from the pain
I raise the blade back to my face and stare at the blood that now stains it
As the blood drips down the blade I imagine the freedom that it may bring
Will anyone truly miss me if I end?
Will anyone notice that I am gone?
Those questions no longer matter; I only care for my redemption [comments] => 4 [counter] => 167 [topic] => 36 [informant] => AllSmiles [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Suicide )

My Redemption

Topic: Suicide

As I raise the knife up to my face
I stare into the reflection that is cast
I used to know the figure upon it
But as I gaze into its soul I no longer see hopes and dreams
Darkness and emptiness is all that remains
As I tilt the blade I see the figures lips
A smirk comes upon them
A smirk not from happiness
But a smirk of insanity
The thought of the blade brushing against the skin as it peels back brings laughter
I gently press the blade against my throat, eyes closed tightly from the pain
I raise the blade back to my face and stare at the blood that now stains it
As the blood drips down the blade I imagine the freedom that it may bring
Will anyone truly miss me if I end?
Will anyone notice that I am gone?
Those questions no longer matter; I only care for my redemption

I was watching the making of some movie..and they showed the actor using the blade for a mirror..I'm thinking it might be Johnnie Depp..but I'm probably wrong..
