⚠️ Trigger warning: su*c*de
She puts a hand out;
Out of the water,
Takes a deep breath -
Lungs fill with fire
Hand above,
Just her hand above the water
Her soul collides,
Fire and ice,
Confusion reigns
Life and death entwined
It's dark out tonight,
Nobody; no light,
Frozen lake,
in the middle of summer
She sputters; and the water takes hold,
Strangling the remnants of her dying soul,
Flashes of the past,
Nostalgia at last,
She feels for a change,
Although the change won't last
Her hand above,
Is now forever gone,
She'll be forgotten in a few years,
Her memories; long gone.
Just another soul,
In the middle of a war,
Just another life.
We'll move on.
I think I wrote this back in the day because I read about a student's suicide, and it affected me how we just forget and move on as a society.
