The swing

Folder: 
tragedy

The world is full of so much pain and sorrow.
And yet we refuse to let all things that don't matter go
She died so young and by her own hand
The clouds too thick and smothering for her to part
She knew the sun was shining
she just couldn't feel it
It just didn't exist anymore
It became a memory,
An idea,
A fantasy
A dream
Killed for lack of hope.
They were cruel to her
The way they saw her
And looked at her with those poisoned eyes
Hazed, glazed over she died long before I had held her hand
They took her away because she wanted to swing
She couldn't fight it any more
She wanted to swing in the sunlight
Above the clouds
So she did...
They found her swinging on that old tree
In the sunshine
She found her blue sky
The colour of her cold lips
That never told why.

Woah, I am speachless. This

Woah, I am speachless. This hit my heart like a two ton rock. Great write very very powerful. suicide is a fate not many in life have been effected by.But the people who have. ...It changes them. It shows that people fear fear itself more than death. it is something I have trouble understanding and its something I wish to help more people with from knowing first hand how it effects people around you.

May her afterlife

be the life that lives on inside you.
May her essence always be there to hold you
And may her blessing always be with you

She sounds like she was amazing, and I know that she is looking down on you with a smile.
