BY GAVIN ESTES
White on white
Endless light
But shadows seep in
Changing day into night
Heart of glass
Scars from the past
You hope they will fade
But you fear they will last
Living in fear
The end draws near
You wish you could cry
But you’ve run out of tears
Weary of life
Glint of a knife
It offers escape
From conflict and strife
Darkness surrounds
Blood dripping down
Eternity beckons
As you fall to the ground
