Junior High...
you begin to love your friends
you often want to cry
your family doesn't mean that much
and you don't know why...
suicide begins to enter your mind
and no one seems to care..
in your mind your friends don't love you
but you wish they were aware
you find yourself writing letters
saying goodbye to all you know
while you sit there looking at a rope..
staring at a knife..
gleaming at the cars driving fastly by..
holding your breath in the pool...
crying yourself to sleep...
High School comes...
you love your friends more than anything
you often find yourself crying
your family doesn't mean shit to you
yet at the same time mean the world to you
and you don't know why...
suicide is constanly on your mind
still no one seems to care..
You tell yourself your friends hate you
yet you think to yourself they love you
you have a stack of suicide letters to everyone
you slip the rope around your neck
and attach it to the top of the door and let yourself hang
only for a minute before the rope breaks...
you dig the knife into your wrists
your arms
your legs
everywhere...
you jump in front of the cars driving by
but stumble out of the way before it's too late...
you tie youself to the ladder at the bottom of the pool
breaking free and gasping for breath within the next minute...
drugging yourself to sleep...still in tears.
Such emotion is depicted in this poem.
This poem tells the complete truth for a lot of people, including myself.
Makes you wonder what the world is coming to, all these pre-teens and teens want to die.
Excellent poem, I love it!
Layna, I really like this one too. It' straight and to the point. I love how it ends....great job Beloved!
