Just a number
She's slipping back into darkness.
Every thing around her is colliding,
Her life is crashing,
Flashing before her eyes.
She fought hard against the pain,
But turned to a dull knife to make her sane.
She lives in a world insanity,
Where her fears are reality.
Her blood is flowing,
But people keep on going,
Never wondering why.
She's slipping back into darkness,
Falling out of time.
Now she's just a number,
A statistic,
Of teens that died,
Due to suicide.

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
