TW: Mentions/describes Suicide



Jump
"I'm not afraid anymore!"
Boo!!
Not afraid, you say,
Then why'd you jump so far away?
"I-i"
Right, because you are afraid
You're afraid of what you can't see
Of what you can't remember
You can't remember your dreams
"Yes, I-i can!"
No, you can't.
You're tiny little brain makes you forget things
The things that it says you cannot see
Your dreams are the truth
And nobody needs that revealed
So keep it to yourself
And everything will be alright.
You won't get hurt if you keep it inside
"B-but-"
No buts, no complaints for me
Keep it inside and I'll leave you be
"You're a monster"
Yes, that's right. I'm surprised you've seen that much
"You're inside my head."
That's true, you'll never be alone
"I want you to leave me alone"
That's never going to happen
"Why not?"
Because I'm you and you are me
"But you're a monster"
And so are you.
You see, everyone's a monster
And life isn't fair
So you get to deal with me
Until your mind is set free
"Set free?"
Set free! HAHAHA
"How does my mind get set free?"
Why, by dying, of course!
"Suicide?"
Sure! There's a nice tall building right over there!
"Alright!"
HAHAHA
Why would you trust me
"Because you're inside my head"
That's all?
"And I want you gone"
Silly child. I'll never be gone
Now. JUMP!
"No!"
JUMP!
"How are you controlling me?"
Why, because I am you.
Now, JUMP!
"Alright! Alright!"
HAHAHAHA
I won. I always win.

I wrote this before I did the poem unit in English class... and I used it for an assignment I wasn't supposed to. But oh well.
Anyways, yeah, sad and depressing. But I wasn't even depressed when I wrote it. I had just got myself a girlfriend and I was in a pretty good mental health state at the time.
(that makes it sound like I'm not in a good spot right now, but I am. XD)
Hope you enjoyed this poem, and I hope you enjoy the rest, cuz I've got a few more!

Bunch of my short stories that I wrote from 6th grade to 9th grade, and new ones from my tenth grade year, too.
I might not edit some of them, so it will seem like they were writing by a 12 year old. Lol.

Enjoy!
