Dared to Die

Dared to Die

A Poem by Liam Riley

Spinning Out of Control
Crash and Burn
Close my eyes
And Free my Soul

Ringing that Sentence
Over in my Brain
Pinching my Nerves
So I cannot Sustain

Itching for a Difference
A new World
A few new Things
For this Girl

Misunderstood
and influencing Suicide
Making Unnatural marks
That Hurt Her Inside

Addicted to the Healing
The Drug that Comes Within
Opening to Feel it
Breaking that healed skin

She Cant Deal with it Anymore
All this Pressure and Stress
Building And Rising
But Whom to Impress

Obviously Not her Family
Or the world around
Maybe the Inner Child
Is waiting for a sound

The Life of Confusion
And misery runs dry
Her Clock stops ticking
And She Dared to Die

So sad, but very beautiful. I'm not sure if you're lamenting suicide or praising it? ...it almost seems like it is about one person who wants to change the world, reflecting on another person who's given up on the world.

I love how easy this poem flows, the rhymes and the words chosen, this is a very good descriptive poem that can capture a reader's poem very easily.

However, I do have one question though. Why is the first two stanzas in first person point of view while the rest are in third person?
