For the Rhythm of the Poem

Not everyone has the drive to stay alive

in a world where a girl can make you want to die

Or a male

The similarities the opposite beings entail

Suicide simply soothes and brings silence

To a loud heinous world given but not asked for

Sadly there aren't much ways to achieve so without violence

A gift unappreciated and unwanted by many

But savored and valued and treasured by plenty

The stress of a life can lead to one being taken

Anxiety and depression if I'm not mistaken

The large amount of things that cause us to let go

Last moments hesitation

Sometimes we don't know

When you lose motivation

Sometimes it's too late

By committing those actions

You've sealed your own fate

The clock is ticking

Your hearts beat slows

You lay there wishing

Wishing you'd known

That this

Is not

What

You wanted

You

Just

Wanted

To be free
