Notions

Notions of sadness

Fill your head

Leaving with thoughts

"I'm better off dead."

Tiny voices

You long to cease

Never once knowing

What is waiting

Under the sheets

Times are crazy

Rough waves ahead

No signs of stopping

"I'm better off dead"

Woman I love

Has nothing left for me

Drug me down

In this bottomless sea.

Easy dosage

Pills at hand

Will I end it

Or take my last stand

Times are crazy

Rough seas lay ahead

All the time

"I'm better off dead"

Friends and loved ones

Never understand

The pain i face

I am the loneliest man

My love for a girl

Who no longer loves me

I want to give up

I want her to see

Children of mine

Have grown in age

Oh! How I love them

I'd never throw them away

A friend who loves me

Calming the storm

All this time wondering

Is there truly more?

Author's Note

Written for a dear friend of mine. He is going through a rough time. And while I was talking to him today I was struck with this sudden inspiration. The first time I have been inspired in months and I owe it to him. i know it isn't my best. But its whatever.

Anyone can take on a different persona, but it takes a real writer to do it effectively. And in your case, the poem felt as if you wrote it about yourself. And so you pretty much mastered the tool. Not to mention the effective use of repitition that actively pounds the story in the reader's head. I like the somber and creepingly hopeless tone of the poem as my eyes descend further into it. Excellent. Favoriting. :)

Well you caught his pain and emotion well, I hope it gets better for him soon.
