A Month From Hell (Revisted) Poem by Scarlet .....

I didn't think much
could happen
in so little time

Two of my cousins
tried to commit
suicide

One other cousin
ran away for a
day

Another ran away
for two

My aunt

My mother

My grandmother

Have gone to the hospital
thinking they were having
heart attacks

My other aunt
lost her job

My last aunt found out
that her husband was
cheating one her

Yes her van broke
down

One of my cousins
that tied to commit
suicide was her
daughter

Family business
was so sold

I lost my job

Mom left her
codependant
husband

Then she went back


Im now failing all
my classes

I attempted suicide
once

Mom walked in
didn't even
notice

She see the noose
hanging behind me

Whatever was left
inside of me died

I now know so much
can happen in
so little time
