From a few years ago, but so relevant:

BLACK DOG

Frightening in your stealth, you descend like the darkest cloud.

They may not see you, but those close know you are with me.

Your visits provoke their wariness; afraid they may tip the scales.

Some are aware of your deceptive nature; the ignorant have no perception of your power.

Others turn away in accusation. As if I would e...

I see someone from time to time,

Thriving to be substantially fine;

Previously vivacious and evergreen,

Until the unpredictables were seen.

She sits alone on a mediocre bench,

Still, consumed by unknowables,

Unbothered by the world around

Like she's laying in a deserted trench.

There are healing cuts on her hand,

There are unhealed cuts on the tree,

They sta...

Suicide is not cowardly, but it’s not brave
Everyone says you become wiser with age
But is that really the case when most of us live in our own defeat?
Everyone sits happily, afraid to show their true selves; afraid to show they’re weak
You don’t have to accept defeat, you can fight it, you don’t have to be meek

It needs to get shit off its chest

Where’s me head? … It’s lost the plot

It...

Waking up crying because I dreamt you had died

And it felt so real

If I could do anything to make stop your pain I would

But I'm p...

I see it everywhere,

being laughed about, tormented

“Ha! Triggered!”

If only it could be prevented.

This generation needs to grow up

stop being so damn sensitive

a bunch of babies who can’t cope

well how about you stop being so damn negative?

“Kill yourself!”

Ha, wait, is that a trigger?

Not yet, but it will be

when you realize you’re the killer

For anyone thinking of suicide...I send you light love and keep u in my prayers... May you know love and find compassion when u need it the most. May u always love urself first. May you hold onto the fact that if u love urself that's enough. May you find your smile through your tears. May u know without a doubt that u are not alone. May u believe that u do matter, u will be missed and u are lov...
