Rooftop

I open the attick window
The icy wind perices my skin like a thosaund shards of glass
I do not stir for this is what I deserve
The rooftop so inviting
Mist spiraling and swearling beckoning me to come closer
To sit on the chimney pot
To tear flesh from bone

Those who have my best interset at heart

Hold me close

I do not respond to their embrace


They Pose the following questons

"whats wrong?"

"Are you alright?"

"You know you can always talk to me I am always here for you, you know that don't you?"

I do not reply

For I am a

Unworthy

Inpure

Insignificant

Agrevating

Irritable

Burden to bear

For I deserve much less than them

I shouldn't be so selfish and linger with them

They deserve far better than the likes of me

For I deserve to go out to the edge of the roof top

And jump

  • Really powerful write! Simple, and I can identify with it a lot. Never think that you are unworthy though, and you are never alone. *hugs* I'm adding you to the finalists, the emotion in this is great. The only thing I would do is check spelling.

    If you were unworthy of us.. I wouldnt want to know you. trust me on this one. you can think it all you like.. but NOTHING'S going to change. You are one of the most special friends I have, and will ever have. Don't change that, Emily. I love you.

    This is a really good poem. Sometimes i go on my roof and think to jump, you capture the real emotions of it. You are such a great poet!

    No you bloody well don't! Nobody deserves that, Emily, no matter what I say when I'm depressed! OK, rant over now. It was well-written, though.
