Please Stop Poem by Marlena Rose

Please Stop

Rating: 5.0


She hated her life
She wanted to die.
Every night when she came home
She started to cry.
She slit her wrists
To kill the pain.
Everynight
She cut a vein.
The blood runs down
Her pale white arm
Her parents had no idea
Of what was going on.
Then one day she found the gun
In her dad's top drawer.
A few seconds later
She was dead on the floor.
Her parents thought of her
Every night
Hoping and praying
She went toward the right light.

Please stop teen suicides.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I wrote this when I was battling with depression. Depression is a horrible thing that takes too many people away from us. I wrote this so that people would know about depression.

@Sina, Thuis poem was not to endorse suicide. It is to tell the story of how depressed/suicidal people feel. I personally feel that we have lost far too many people to suicide. If anyone feels suicidal, I strongly encourage they get help.
