"When I step on that basketball court, I'm thinking about basketball, I'm thinking about winning - but there's so much that goes into thought about how I'm going to open this game up to others. It's so much more than just basketball." -Carmelo Anthony


Pushed around by another for far too long
Thrown like a
Ragdoll
Humiliated
Embarrased
He thought school was supposed to be special.

Suicidal thoughts come knocking at his door…
He tries to drive them out but he feared
As the words “Blackmail” was smeared into his head

“Major depression.” The doctor deemed.
His mom is shocked in horror,

while he just sits and stares.

Smiling?

Foreign.

Love?

Forbidden.

He strides around his kitchen…

Hugs?

Forgotten.

Kisses?

Ancient.

Something glistens in the corner of his eye.
A ray of hope right?
No… It’s just a
Knife.

He sits and thinks as he quickly jots down  a
Letter.
He bids farewell and mutters “Farewell, world.”
He then cuts himself, and falls asleep.
For that is the last time
He will ever
Speak…

Theme: Depressed people need help for a better quality of life.


The author's comments:

I think that this poem I wrote really means something, because of all the bullying problems everywhere around the world, and what happenes (In this case suicide) is really tragic, and I really want to spread to everybody what are some the consequences.
