Leaving

by Rachel
(North Somerset, England)

I lie down on the soft sand
Not afraid of whats coming
Almost straight away I felt ice
creep up my feet spreading like
a river across my body

I'm ready I thought, there's nothing
in this life to keep me going
No one to hold on to me
No one that cares about me

I suddenly feel as if I'm being
crushed
I can't breathe and all around me
is darkness

I try to think of happy times
but I feel that there are none
I close my eyes and I feel as
if someone is stabbing my heart

My heart stops beating
My life ended here
