Talk when you
Are ready

Put down the pills
Please

Throw away
The blade

Cut the rope 
Into tiny pieces 
If it makes you not afraid

Silence

Avery,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

Hi Avery, You have penned such a realistic poem. It was a though a "suicide" hotline worker was on the phone talking to someone who has lost all hope. This is not a easy topic to write about. It think you expressed your thoughts well in a few words-Alexis
