this is quite an old poem, so i have not killed myself. and it is supposed to be disturbing, the truth usually is, and as usual, most people cannot handle it. truth is scary! this is a poem that i will probably not ry to make friendlier because in order to be able to relate to it, you have to have been in a pretty unfriendly place at least once in your life. the seriousness is that life takes us down some dark roads, but how we come out of that can often depend on how much thought we put into our situation. i was quite serious when i wrote this, so i did need help, even tried to do some of the things in this poem, and was lucky enough to live to tell about it and let others know that we all have our moments.
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.
