the Final Call

What makes a man put a bullet in his head?

To concede life and wish he were dead?

To leave his family and his home?

Leave them desperate and all alone?

He's been struggling to survive since the day he was born.

Scratching and clawing til his heart and his mind and his souls been torn.

What is a man supposed to do?

Dust  himself off and start anew?

How can a man revisit his past?

Fix whats broken and make it last?

Feeling fear of the future unknown.

Feeling scared and believing he's alone.

His only choice is to end it all.

To forget about life and place his final call.

In a list

    wow i love this. when someone kills themself everyone sits there and thinks how could they? but i love how you showed the how a person could. plus i loved the rhyme. thankyou so much for entering my contest and best of luck!
  • Hmmm, I've heard of many who think of killing themselves and some I know have had family members who have. It's a scary reality isn't it. It's nicely written though and yeah sometimes you can understand why they would consider doing such a thing.

    Dark? Ummm.. its very questionable. A poetic dwell into the picture. Very intriguing and nicely prompted.

    Thanks for entering,
  • very nice " Feeling scared and believing he's alone.

    To forget about life and place his final call." are my favourite lines, great work
  • Outstanding

    I thought there was a lot of soul searching in this poem as you tried to empathise with the character in the poem. It is a dark and difficult subject to write about and I thought you brought this out in your poetry. Best of luck in the contest.

  • i think its great


    good job and good luck
