Farewell
I stare up at the dark, dark sky;
wishing for the cold,
wishing to die.
My family is home,
in their nice warm beds,
as in shame I hang my head.
My brothers I love,
my parents and sister as well.
Do I want to leave them
and watch them from hell?
The depression once again swallows my guilt
as I look down at the fall,
for which I was not built.
My body would be crushed on the streets below,
but is that the way I really want to go?
I take a step closer to the narrow edge;
it would be just too simple to jump off the ledge.
I shake my head 'no' as I think of how my parents would react.
My poor mother would probably have a heart attack.
My dad might get drunk and drive away,
only to be found dead the next day.
If I took this leap...the world I knew would die.
Everything I knew would be a simple lie.
I once again look up at the cold night's moon.
"Is it my turn to end my life,
to end it now, killing all of my hate and strife?"
An image of my family once again appears in my head.
I then know that they wouldn't be able to stand it if I were dead.
But for once in my life...a selfish strand in my mind
tampers with all of my hate and strife.
The depression covers everyone else with black,
and it is then that my body goes completely slack.
I let myself fall into the pits of hell,
as I leave, the only thing that escapes my lips is, "Farewell."

Re: Farewell
ah yes, i believe i remember reading this one before...i like it. And Enigmatican, you are no one to speak on the subject of a love for dark poetry.
"The wall on which the prophets wrote is cracking at the seams, upon the instraments of death the sunlight brightly gleams. When every man is torn apart with nightmares and with dreams, will no one lay the laurel wreath when silence drowns the screams?"

Ah but you're wrong. Yes before you could have said that but my poetry, the ones I can actually finish that is, is much more of a neutral or somewhat joyful nature. As you can tell of the ones I told you about.

Well, my dead Enigma...I like to write dark because I usually don't display my true dark nature openly so I must have an outlet. Also Enigma...you should listen to the Skittle Goddess...after all, I have read some depression poetry of yours, so you aren't one to speak so there =P. Anyway...thanks for commenting on my poem. ^-^
I don't fear death, because it's just an end result given to you at your birth.

Re: ^-^
Yeah and I hate al that damn depression poetry >.< If only I could burn but unfortunately I don't have the heart to do so. I do know what you mean as for poetry being an outlet. I haven't really wrote all too much as of late. I want to try and get back into the habit.
