Poetry / Behind Closed Doors

You can’t tell by the noose in the corner
Because it didn’t work when I tried to end the horror

The razors in the bathroom don’t mean a thing
Because all they do is leave scars and sting

All the bottles of pills have no consequence
Because habitual use has left a tolerance

The more I sit and contemlate
It seems that no one will ever relate

Day by day, I lose my mind
Yet all I say is “I’m fine”

I think about the trigger and pull it
But of course, I haven’t any bullets

I just want to get rid of all the pain
Even if it means that I’ll never breathe again

Very good imagery. I have a lot of earlier poetry like this. Dark, dark times. I left an 8.5 score because of some grammar/spelling mistakes. Poetry should really mean something to you. If something really means something to you, you don’t do it half-assed. You make sure everything is perfect. Good poem though.

First things first, I am somewhat disturbed by this poem because I do not know the seriousness behind it. I hope that you are not really planning to kill yourself and if you are you should talk to someone. (I know that sounds lame but what else can I say?) Otherwise, I think that the concept was well developed. If you were intending on it to rhyme, it does not carry it off very well.. such as bullets and it dont really work as a rhyming agent. I think that you could really expand on this if you changed the rhyming scheme or if you opted to eliminate rhyme altogether.
