Picture the Silence
Struggling for air
They sit in in awe
As the walls close in and the light dims
Eyes begin to close in silence
Mouths open but soundless
As the screen moves
Destruction takes it's place
Words begin to mix and jumble
Thoughts are beginning to fade
Hands separate
Causing a gap in the heart
Pictures and words replace the mind
Setting a stepping stone into the light
Hands more to search for an answer
Some search for help
As they graze through the threats
And the hidden emotions
They come across the only solution
Rings filled the room
Then grows to silence
It mocks them with an upright voice
The battle was over in an instant
As the silence grew
All that was left was the hope of never returning
Brought forth to them was a challenge
Which they accepted
Little to know the loss became of a single blow
As the black power left just a ring
With little left to sing

Teen suicide has grown greatly over the years. The social networks have made a major impact on this situation, for example, Facebook and Instagram. I wanted to write a poem explaining the feeling that others feel when they are being bullied on the Internet; it creates a greater impact on teen them most people believe. I want teens to realize that, just because it is over the Internet does not make it right; one should think before they post that comment on a pitcure or status to make them seem cool.
