No Suicide

Sadness
Like the sachet
Of a detained schoolboy
Taunt, tease, thrash, threaten, terrorize
Sadly

Sadly
Sachet full with
Colorful memories
Captivate, caress, convince, cure
Serene

Serene
Sadness gives way
Sachet memories soon
Savors secure, smoothes shines, shields, saves
Smoothly

Very very creative Chris. Delightful formatting in your poem of the process to go from darkness to light, from despair to serenity and the choice to live! This would be wonderful to share with teens! Congratulations!
