Analysis of Suicidal Diary Entry



I'm down on my luck
I feel so stuck
I want to cut and cut
Until the door to life is shut

I love the feeling
It leaves me reeling
When the blood flows
And my last breath blows

I've been driven to this
Cutting open my wrist
I can't take anymore
My blood has started to pour...
