All The Pain

I know this has been said before (not the poem, but the facts and what not). It gets me every time. Please take it seriously, it isn't a joke. I hope you enjoy. <3

The bully,

Messed with me,

Every moment,

every day.

Just one kick,

Just one push,

And all the pain

began.

The knife,

Sitting on the counter,

Watched as if

a bomb.

Just one cut,

Just one stab,

And all the pain 

would end.

The gun,

Hidden in the pocket.

Thought of every class period,

every day.

Just one shot,

Just one bullet,

And all the pain

would end.

The rope,

Hanging in the garage,

The last option,

if everything else failed.

Just one loop,

Just one knot,

And all the pain

would end.

The end

Didn't have to be this way.

Struggled so long,

ended so quick.

Could have been prevented,

Could have been stopped,

And all the pain,

would have ended.

Author's Note

Does it make sense?

Reviews

[Emily B]

a sensitive subject that has been on the radar lately

happens too often here in these hallowed halls

[RachelReaper]

Yes, it does it make sense and this is obviously a topic that should never be taken lightly. It takes guts to speak out about it and not be silenced by the people who are causing all the pain. It flowed well and the stanza breaks make each section stand out.
