Life's Dark Hole

by Thomas   Jun 2, 2012


High school
Was hell
From day one
Till the very end

Not knowing anyone
Being isolated
Getting bullied
Ego deflated

Just kids
Acting on hormones
Trying to be tough
By acting rough

Beating the weak
Beating the skinny
Trying to get girls
Covered in acne

They pushed me
In spirit and in the flesh
To my very limit
Almost of the cliff

Even at the very end
When all are planning their future
The only thing I was contemplating
Was suicide

The only thing
Stopping me back then
Was the lack
Of having a gun

So don't talk me
About living in darkness
Cause I have lived in the core
Of life's dark hole

Absence of light
Absence of hope
The only way out
Seemed a slipknot in a rope

    Thomas~
    This is a saddening piece. I can't really relate to it since I've been homeschooled all my life, but this piece made me feel how you felt. Just by reading this, I feel horrible. I'm really sorry you had to go through this; no one deserves this, but I assure you, these little things that bring us down will sooner or later be a huge factor in helping us achieve our dreams.
    These things give us strength and I hope you realize that. Just by knowing, writing and sharing about what you're going through shows your strength. Just hold on and appreciate those things now, because in the future, when you're more successful and more powerful than they are, you'll smile and thank them for making you stronger.
    Suicide is not an answer. You have talent; look at this piece. We could never lose a growing talent like you (:
    Keep your head high, and I aswell, am always here whenever you need anyone to talk to. Don't hesitate to drop me a pm.
    Keep writing!

    First of all let me apologize, I am sorry that you had to endure this and I wish that things are better now.
    It feels that by being so straightforward about this, you got the strength to fight against those people now. The short verses help for this poem to read well.
    In case you ever need someone, just send me a PM.

    Well I never feel this in high school ( in now)
    But I know how does it feel like to be picked on
    It sure feels bad but u should have never thought of suicide as an option at all
    Cause actually they win when you lose hope lol
    Never give up is what you should do if he is more powerful than you then train to be better
    For the poem I think u got some rhyme at some parts which made the flow easier and much better
    You were good at choosing your words too
    descripes the situation well
    I liked the ending but it was so full of depression
    It is sad poem so emotional and hold good message
    And it is well written
    5/5 keep writing =)

    Kids are very cruel this days, they love
    to make themselves look bigger by
    harrassing others and make them look smaller. That's why the suicide rate
    amongst teenagers is so high.
    It seems like these kids have a lot of
    anger issues they might feel sad or lost
    as well, no reason to take it out on
    others. Eventually one day they wil meet
    their match, someone who will fight back
    5/5
