This is a poem I wrote, please...if you read the poem read the commentary as well. its very important for understanding my point in writing such a poem. Also, a brief warning, this poem does mention suicide in a way, its not a bad poem though so just read the commentary and you'll go "ooooo!" so..yeah. Read, enjoy, comment. thanks! ^_^

Break
Copywrite© Shaina W.
03-25-06

Bury your emotion,
Deep within your heart.
Don't let anyone see you!
Hold back your tears, don't start.

Think of the ones your emotions will scar,
Let yourself feel pain....
Away from their understanding,
Away from their eyes, remain.

Hold on to your imaginary reality,
Don't even try to confide!
Just flash your fake smile....
Keep your tears locked inside.

Don't think to be selfish,
Telling them will only cause heartache.
Hang on to your grief,
Keep it within, don't break.

When you can take it no more,
Just wrap the rope around your neck.
Take a deep breath....
It'll all be over in a sec.

End your sweet misery,
Hold on to your imaginary reality.
End it all with a short drop; fatality.

No more fake smile...

No more hiding your heartache....

No more holding back your tears...

You can finally release.......BREAK!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Haven’t any of you felt this little voice in your head? Saying words like this poem to you over and over....
"Its ok to hide everything, its ok if no one knows. They don't want to know! It'll only hurt them....by hurting yourself in your room where no one can see you then you’re saving them from feeling bad. You’re saving them from heartache."

That little voice that justifies it all....justifies drugs or sex or cutting or whatever anyone may use to calm their heartache and pain while still keeping it locked up inside....until the justification doesn't matter anymore and you realize that each of those things are only temporary...the only permanent solution is suicide.

Things in life that are substitutes for pain never get better....cutting only gets worse, sex only gets more addictive and less satisfying (speaking about using sex as a substitute...not like when your in love), and drugs get worse, cause you to do or think in ways you never thought you would and some will eventually end in death.

But do you really want to die?! Don't listen to those stupid voices! It’s ok to lean on other people, its ok to share your pain! It’s ok to feel pain in the first place! but its not ok to listen to that poem....to those voices. Sure they sound good....you can't deny that sometimes they make sense, but you have to realize that they're completely bogus.

Live on, share your pain, and slowly things can get better.

Nice poem! I would actually suggest adding a bar or two though, where you include what you said in your commentary, about the fact that that voice is lying and that suicide isn't the solution. Mainly because, if people didn't read the commentary, then they might think that the poem is supporting suicide, and they'd be missing the whole point. Anyways, hope to see more of your creativity on the boards! ^_^

I was going to do that originally, but instead i made sure to note first that everyone should read the commentary, its like the commentary is a part of the poem. It's just something I did on purpose to mess with the emotions of the readers so that it has a better overall impact. Thanks for reading and commenting. I didn't think anyone would. ^_^ -is happy now-

I'm sorry, i won't add a happy ending to it. It loses its emotional affect if I do. Besides, the poetic part of the whole (the whole being the poem plus the commentary) is meant to show the true reality of a bad situation. I won't hide whats real...besides the poem is the "evil" voices talking...so it can't be anything happy. I won't suddenly change the speaker from the voices to the person in the middle of the poem, it would lose a lot if I did.
So, no happy ending in the poem, the whole point is to realize whats real so you can create your own happy ending before its too late.

It's good, and sad. I understand why you don't want to change the speaker from the voices.
Though I think a companion poem with a differnt speaker may help better then the commentary.

You mean like two completely different poems? like battling it out? right and wrong? kinda thing...? One thats the one "break" and nother that sums up the commentary? -hadn't thought of that- I donno...I like the commentary, but I may just do that too......

thanx-u!
