Bleed me out

Bleed me out

Make my life mean something

Don’t let me feel so empty, so hollow inside.

Accept my pain

Bring it to the spotlight so others might understand

Don’t let them be judgmental of those like me going forward.

Make me ash

And bury me among my brothers, my true family

So I no longer feel empty, lonely and afraid to be.

These are not hollow words

These are words of someone with a strength inside you know nothing of

These are choices made out of love and pain, may you never know the pain of making.

Deep inside we know it’s wrong

But our soul is darkened by death and loss

And the pain cannot be medicated or talked away.

And when we take the final walk in the Garden of Stone

May we find the peace we no longer knew or felt

Inside our minds are at peace once more as the world plays the hand it’s dealt.
