Cement [Acrostic]

by Daylight Lucidity   Sep 12, 2013


Cautious, I turn my tear-stained cheek to prying eyes and smile, knowing full well that
Eventually, my acting okay and not heartbroken will cease and I will be engulfed in a
Misery that I have yet to understand. I wonder what it would be like,
Entering the ocean by falling from a bridge wearing cement shoes,
Never stopping to think it through, and
Traveling quickly to the bottom and slowly letting out the air in my lungs.

    I think people who are depressed have always thought about this. If we act ok or happy people cannot hurt us at all and it's hard to do because that sadness comes through here. Misery does engulf us and there is nothing we can really do. It feels like we are helpless everyday and it leads to some very dark things. This is a very dark and sad poem though. No one can really understand what we are going through but it's also hard to show how we feel. The ending of this poem is a twist that I did not expect. Suicide thoughts yes. You talk about actually doing it though. I think we have all had thoughts like thos though. I like how this poem takes you on a ride that ends a life really. Or thoughts about it. Very unique. Well done.
