No Where

suicidal letter :(

Life is much more than a cycle,

It's life that I want gone,

who am I to judge this world,

I'm singing it all wrong,

 

I cut, I hurt, I want to die,

I'm sick and done with plead,

my mother tries to make me right,

but life is not my deed,

 

My tears are painful, I want out,

I'm tired--no more pain,

I feel like there's a cycle dying,

I think I'll go insane,

 

no more circles, no more tears,

I'm ready--close my eyes,

I'm sick of listening to my pops,

I'm sick of all these lies,

 

Life is bitching, I need room,

I need to see the light,

I don't know whether I am wrong,

but I know it's not right,

 

I know it's selfish, I need help,

I wish that I could die,

it's wrong, it's filthy, it's not fair,

but mom, I said goodbye,

 

Knife in hand is when I lose,

this gleam is gone no where,

letter in hand--hold it tight,

instead I rip and tear.

This does a great job of capturing the conflicting emotions that are felt when considering suicide. Even though you know it's wrong and selfish, it seems like the only way out. Great use of rhyme here, it worked really well! This was a nice read & much better than I was expecting (suicide poems tend to become a little cliche after a while - but this was not!) Great job & keep writing!
