poem i wrote for suicide prevention week
 

the cool water drips down her face
suddenly its clear once she sees her veins
didn't have to look back in the mirror
her body lay motionless down by the river


her eyes stayed shut for the rest of her life
as the moon shines brightly to say "goodnight"
didn't have to listen to one more lie
her spirit keeps moving towards the light


one more second she could finally breathe
the ocean so dark she could finally sleep
current so slow she could fade away
to wake beside the one she loves to this very day


one last time she will end this fight
whispering soft words making sure its fine
countless moments it took her to see
a smile on her face once she left her body


coming close you feel the rain
as the sky rolled thunder releasing her pain
streams of red flowing down her skin
suddenly the world takes her sins


in the sand remain her footsteps
leading you to where she takes her last breath
she left her heart in her second home
letting her know she's not alone


a flicker of light peaks through the sky
as people still think this girl's alive
no one noticed the different colored sand
not even that one homeless man


the howling wind kissed her cheek
the rest of her inside made it to the creek
the stars came out so that they could shine
her body became part of the spotlight


the owls sang a goodbye song
to help this incident move along
her memory still blazes in their minds
who could forget a creature so kind?


once they realize she is gone
they'll blame themselves for the damages done
her fingers closed together on her chest
with a rose between displaying her death


they lit the flower and watched it burn
to let her life safely return
tears dripped down to put the fire out
and the one she loved killed herself

I love this! You're an amazing writer. I wish I could have this read to everyone at my school over the intercom, since my school has done nothing for suicide prevention. Maybe it would teach them something.

Thanks you guys! It would be really cool to have it read to schools so people realize the fact that one suicide could lead to another and how people need to notice the warning signs before its too late. I'm really glad that you guys liked this so much!!!! Share it to others if you'd like, I really don't have a problem with it. Just don't take full credit, lol. No you could just say that you found it on the internet and you really wanted to share it with them. Thanks guys! :hug:
