Vacant.

by Linda   Apr 26, 2015


Saddened eyes,
cigarette,
broken soul
but fighting it.

Back against
a concrete wall.
Giants thoughts,
but words are small.

Pull up your knees,
put down your eyes.
drag your nails
straight down your thighs.

Shut your mouth,
nothing to say.
Just get up
and run away.

Get tattoos
sleep around.
Grab a bottle,
Vodka drown.

You're nothing
to everyone.
Just give up,
time to be done.

Ten floors up
take the jump
off the edge.
Hear the 'thump'

    Wow, this is deep, but amazing.

    I think it holds a lot of pain in it. I know it is old, but I don't think I remember this one.

    I like the flow you kept to it, the pace and the rhyme, it all worked well together, and I think kept it short and sweet for such a painful poem. I also think the pace of the poem relates well to the thoughts of someone who is in this situation, as sometimes suicidal thoughts and actions happen this fast, and there is not much thinking done.

    I think the poem shows a lot of inner pain inside the character, and then some desperation for the pain to go away.

    your ending is so impactful, really leaves a heavy feeling to end with, knowing the character has taken this route. It is a sound in which if witnessed/heard, will never be forgotten.

    Powerful write
