Suicide M Q Walters
Drowning this hateful fire flame,
With endless useless pleading tears.
For this life of hell I lay claim,
Realizing only now my ugliest fears.
Disgust oozing from all he speaks,
Should have already been gone.
This foul stench of anger reeks,
As the battle forever rages on.
Standing on the edge of this wall,
That I tried so desperately to build.
Now only wishing to take the fall,
Let this blood on the ground be spilled.
Alas to have finally had enough,
To wish with passion the end of ends.
Weak of trying to be tough,
And the liar messages it sends.
But I think this is what he waited for,
To drag me down below even down.
Perhaps to even some unknown score,
Or to see my blood upon the thirsty ground.
Hate is such an ugly demon to know,
A foul and disgusting heartless thing.
I stand at the edge you know,
For freedom my heart sweetly sings.

"Mattie, I sincerly hope this piece is more on a statement about suicide than something you really think about! No one owns anyone in this world, if God does not mess with a man's free will who is anyone to keep you from yours! Your Freedom is within your grasp all you need to do is reach out and take it! God Bless & Keep you safe and whole!" -- Monte.
"Thank-you Monte..only a statement about standing on the edge." -- mattie.
"Why would anyone stay in such an ugly place...freedom is in walking away, why do you live with those demons, by doing so you create your own hell...I love you mattie" -- mandi.
"And what of your demons Mandi, are you not creating a hell of your own? Something to think about." -- mattie.
"I dance with my demons..." -- mandi.
"life is a gift, dear! As irrational as it can be, always a gift. As desperate as we may be, always a gift! There are things in life that should not even been said,or written unless you do it as a "letting go" process! Sometimes we do have to throw up our inner demons, I fully agree on that! And writing is an art, sometimes a mistery! We write about feelings, about lives! Glad it was only a statement. Don't go any further!" -- dri cook.
"Dri...Writing about it is my own way of somehow being able to cope with lifes hardships...feelings and actions are not the same...I often stand on the edge" -- mattie.
"Hi Mattie,I just wanted to review one of your older poems.I thought this piece was very powerful and emotional.I truly believe that the majority of us stand on the edge of suicide at one point in our lives.I know I've stood on that edge many times myself.But I truly hope that because this piece is written in the past you now stand in the sunshine with a big smile on your face instead of on the edge with a frown. " -- David D.
"David...I always stand on the edge...of something! I am not always so glum. I do smile and laugh. I think somewhere I have said, I write more often when I am down. It helps me to cope and to put my feelings into words. Words on paper, often words no-one wants to hear, or certainaly do not listen to. As always, Thank you David, and I have have also enjoyed reading your posts very much. :) " -- mattie.
