This should get nominated!

I felt every part of this, every word..

Yes.

I've lost a couple friends to depression and suicide albeit some time ago, more recently my son (who has only just turned 18) lost one of his to the same.

As you can imagine he and his friends are devastated. Such a shame they missed the signs.

A fantastically worded poem about a subject that many are too blind or to scared to discuss.

Well done you.

Regards and respect.

This is just brilliant! "it shouts in silent screams" ... great line and so relate-able. Aside from the fantastic content of your words, the way you've laid them out really adds to the reading of it. Really so well done :-) x

I picked this for my 5 purely because it's an important subject to discuss, I also like the layout, different to anything else nominated this week. I think poetry has an important place in the arts and is a relevant voice. I also like to see poetry bounding along ignoring stringent rules previously drummed in to us all. This ticks both boxes for me. Well done (5 points)
