Sitting there wondering about life
Trying not to focus on the pain
She wonders if she deserves to be his wife
Or is her mind playing another game
Life is hard she knows
But its not easy to know she will leave her son
Is it really time for her to go
How does she find the right answer to this one
Suicidal feelings surface once again
Along with lost and confusion and then some hate
She tried to pick up the phone to call a friend
But something in her mind said to wait
She doesn't want to live anymore
But how can she die without first saying goodbye
And if she talked to him about this, he would ask now what for
She won't be able to explain as she wipes her eyes
So she still sits here wondering what to do
Take her life without telling anyone
And leave nothing more then this poem for you
Or stay and live one more day for her son
Author notes
6) Suicide - Make it orginal, i know sucicide is sad but try to write a poem without it being cliche. If you want to know what i mean read my poems "It was all for you" or "To the poor soul who finds me". They are based on suicide but not the typical angst.

Good
This is a good write.
I like that you have written about the internal struggle over whether to suicide or not rather than the usual "I'm so sad so give me a knife" kind of writes that always end up in Suicide options.
Good luck in the contest -

Dear,
~arms are held out reaching to you
for a hug so you know that you are loved~

reaches up looking for loving arms.....
please hold me tight..
and dont leave me tonight...

seems that with life im through
-
-
arms wrapped around
to hold you tight
not just for now
or only tonight
let my arms
be your rock
and let friendship
be ones true stock -

holding on but still fearing life
I ask you why why is it this life hurts
I know all that hurts and I know everyone has strife
but what i dont get is why cant i forget
make it all go away
because hello people here im faking
Im really really not ok
here my soul is left for the devils taking.... -

love, life sometimes is a mess
but it is precious none the less
no matter how much we fear
those that truly care are near
know that you have some here
for you are loved Michelle dear
death is something that all do fear
but to survive, now with that we can cheer -
-
I hope you would understand
when i cant hold my head up
Its even hard to reach out to any hand
and life to me seems so useless
friends i know say they care
but with each one comes conditions
and in this life there is too much i fear
im tired and weak and ready to leave
and in my letter if there is one
ill tell them how much you tired
how much you was a friend all the way till the end
and how life hurts and we both cried
Thank you for being here to help me
but I think id never find happiness
and id never leave these sores to be
so whats the point in going on anymore -
-
Please, stay here my dear
stay for not us but yourself right here
don't let others words or deeds
bring you down love..
No rhyme this time..
I am here if you need someone -
-
i keep trying but im still crying and i dont know what to do... and i have no words that come to explain whats wrong.. im sorry ill try to hang on but no promises... hugs my friend

This is very deep and thought
provoking. What a terrible position
for someone to find himself in. Great
work with your rhyme scheme here!
Good luck to you with this one!
