I want to be free, with the birds and the bees, Singing my offkey remedy Of their beautiful melody. Let me fly High above the sometimes gray but more often blue sky, Let me soar along with the wind, Each gale sweeping me closer and closer towards the brink. Isn’t that cliche? So ing cliche, But that’s me. Every suicidal teenager labeled as an attention whore and angsty Sitting alone in their room falling apart where no one can see. It’s been three years now Of falling down a hole with no end in sight, Each moment getting closer to the day I take flight. My blood I pour down my bathtub from time to time, Is like looking at the brochure for an upcoming trip, getting more and more excited with each of these passing rhymes. Soon you’ll see, That my contagious laugh and wide grin spread across my face Was the cloak concealing my inevitable fate.

A powerful write about a deep and painful subject. Use your words to let out the pain, as long as you are here, happiness may be just around the corner or in the light of a new dawn.

Oh, a visceral read. Suicidal ideation is not an easy thing to write about or talk about. A fantastic, evocative and brave piece Emily. Hugs, xomo
