Omar Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Do not talk yourself out of it, Certainly do not cry Because their most wicked eyes Will see the weakness of your brows and the little two wrinkles on both corners of your stiffened mouth. Their noses will sniff the salt on your Frosted cheeks, the crystals in the side of Your eyes. Certainly do not make it facile to witness But atrocious and sight-scourging, crawling So deeply within the pulp of their minds. Make it blood-avid and most malignant Sawing their most sensitive nerves with So slow Pacing stings. Undoubtedly leave some red notes which Will devour their mirthful spirits, Blame- most certainly- Blame Everyone and everything for scolding is your most Glorious power in these coming ticks . And now, Have you chosen your way? Gun, rope, knife or blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry A Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 A poem encouraging suicide? And providing no redeeming reason for such a poem. People have dark thoughts, but there is a cost to dwelling on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omar Posted August 17 Author Share Posted August 17 @Terry A this poem is a state of mind, the voice inside the head, Certainly not encouraging anything. Beside that, I don't think giving a reason is necessary but more importantly disclosing these thoughts could be therapeutic and relieving. Anyway, thank you for the read and commentary.

Terry A Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 My comments are valid. In no way does the poem indicate it is a voice inside the head of the individual presenting the poem. If you don't think a reason is necessary, then it will come across as a poem encouraging suicide, and according to your explanation, it is not. Therapeutic perhaps to the writer, but not to the reader. edited to add: or you could simply change the title of the poem to something like ‘The Voices in the Head” or something more poetic. Poems posted on forums are directed at readers. The writer may be pleased with his "therapeutic" venting, but the reader is truly appalled at such venom flung out.
