The depths of hell confide in me.
They tell me their secret longings.
I try to block the sounds.
They seep through.
Screams of the damned break my silence.
If only I could tune them out.
Impossible just impossible.
God, please help me.
No one understands my torment,
Unable to communicate.
My head aches with the weight of their deeds.
Alcohol dulls the roar but never for long.
Ah pills, sweet pearly colored pills,
put me in a stupor for a moment.
Permanent is what a gun would be.
To finally achieve the blissful quiet.
No damnation spilling into my soul.
It takes balls to pull a trigger.
Would pills be easier?
But what if someone finds me before I'm gone?
Fuck it all.
Write the note set the scene borrow the gun.
Drink my false courage quick and wait for the effect.
Gotta hold it steady, to do this right.
Just one light squeeze is all it takes.
From hell to Hell I go.

This is incredible! I can imagine all you are relaying here, and not just because I know what this is like. Yet with both my experience of similar things, as well as your powerful depiction, I can imagine the horrific events described. Very effective indeed!
Well done!

Wow. I'm simply speechless as this. Such a powerful and intense write! You can definitely feel the emotions coming from this girl, and the pain that she feels in her existence. I really liked this - especially since not many poems can leave me speechless! Absolutely great job, and keep writing!
