Suicidal Thoughts

This poem's in ABAB form (except for that last relevant line) and, as most of my other writings, has 100 words.

In head are such thoughts to die,

I don't know why I think of death.

Sometimes I consider goodbye,

I actually try to hold my breath!

 

I guess life's sometimes alright,

it's just sometimes, really tough.

At times, I lose my poor eyesight,

my logic then gets really rough.

 

That makes me lose attention,

so I then I lose my memory.

Dying then builds up tension,

It seems like an accessory.

 

Suicide is just the poorest,

so I will to keep on living.

While thinking to flourish,

now I won't think of killing.

 

(I think of suicide every other day...)

You are a most beautiful and talented young woman Vivian! Your poem is poignant and so honest.Life so often pushes us to the edge, but suicide is never the solution. I hope you have family and friends that you can talk to, and a therapist to help you through this. God bless you and give you strength and comfort always. Keep writing all of your feelings out, so many people need to hear your voice. Well-penned!

Aw, you've written so pleasantly beautifully! Thanks so much for actually calling me "a most beautiful and talented young woman"! I hope God will "bless you and give you strength and comfort always as well"! And yes, I will certainly "keep writing all of (my) feelings out". Blessings~!

How your words awaken the painful suffering so many walk through. My suicidal thoughts are a mist in my memory, but it makes me ache to see others suffering so deeply. May we cling to life always, and to those we cherish.

[ThisVivian]

Aw, wow. Yes, we must "we cling to life always, and to those we cherish", as you've said. Wanna be friends?

May you always be surrounded by cherished ones, and I would be honored to be among them.
