Autumn Leaves
I'm broken, I've fallen, far
Far,
From whom I used to be.
My blood stains everything it touches,
Fills the cracks,
The Crevasses
With its Crimson Lies
My tortured Regrets
As I fall to the ground
Like Autumn Leaves
Red Covering where Life should be
Pain fading
Falling faster,
Faster
Reaching Where
I rest
Like Autumn Leaves
Dying
To soon be forgotten
Like Autumn Leaves,
I've fallen
Red covering
Where Life should be,
Like Autumn Leaves

Poetry: Suicide
I feel as though I'm drifting but not swimming
Sinking not staying afloat
Being pushed rather than voluntarily remaining still
Bullied
by Colin Ward
A dinner waits in the oven, dry as tinder sticks.
You hadn't come home for tea, at the normal time of six.
I gave you a few
by Daisy Breeze
Survival
The world span away
When the phone rang that day
Ears buzzed as he said
It's your turn.
So I rang for assistance,
And
Another Chance
I sat alone in my room,
holding the ultimate tool of my fate.
I'd been keeping it all inside,
forgetting to forgive
by Paul Curtis
WHAT?
What darkness
Leads a tortured soul
To break the bonds
Which hold us
Voluntarily
What illusion
So influences
A mind once so
