Suicide Poem by hidden poet

Suicide

Rating: 4.0


The marks you left inside of me,
those cannot be seen.

These marks, though,
the ones I give myself
are visible.

Angry red lines-
as I pour my soul into the bathroom sink.
These are the marks you make.

Death could be the answer
but what would it achieve?
You would not see, or even grieve.

I could die today
or anytime I choose,
but why bother?

You killed me already.
All that I am now is the shell
that has somehow survived.

You put me through this hell
but I will stay alive.

well said and good for you, broken hearts can mend but you only have one life. we can't give up life for love

We can all hit the bottom - it's getting up that counts
