Question

I would like some Ideas for my next poem...Im running a little blank at the moment...

Answer 1

Suicidal People
Made by: Rhonda Sommer


Today I was talking
to what I called a friend
And he told me that I shouldn’t be friends
with the “suicidal people"

And so I looked at him and I told him that they aren't just suicidal
I said
They have a story that is just waiting to be told
They want people to understand that they aren't just suicidal.

These suicidal are tired of living life
Because people like you don't take the time to help them when they don’t know what to do
And so you criticize them instead
You tell them to suck it up and move on

I talk to these people with an effort of understanding
Because they aren't just suicidal
They don’t want to live life
Because people like you tell them at every turn they are ‘different'

And when they go home they are told that they are worthless
They start to believe it.
When they are hurting and you tell them they are broken
They start to feel it

And So I will listen.
And when I am the only person who will listen to their pleas
When I attempt to understand their frustrations
They might feel like they have a reason to live.

So please understand "friend"
Understand that I have been there before
That I was just one of the "Suicidal People"
And someone decided to listen

So I decided to live

Answer 2

that is one that I wrote

Answer 3

He calls a girl 'fat'
But doesn’t know that her mom recently died
And cooking was something special she did with her mom

She calls him 'stupid'
But doesn’t know that his father beats him
And he cant get help to understand the work

He calls her 'worthless'
But doesn’t know that she has nothing
Because she has no family and has no one to love.

Why do we do this?
Why do we ignore the fact that people have problems?
Why do we choose to ignore it?
When did we become so oblivious to other peoples problems?

I don’t understand
Why we choose to judge others
And we ignore the problems in our own lives
And somehow pointing out other peoples problems

Has become a type of therapy
And so we go round and round and round
Calling each other names
Forgetting the reason we started arguing in the first place.

She is not 'fat'
He is not 'stupid'
And she is not 'worthless'

They are people!
They have feelings
And whether we like it or not
What we do is wrong.

Answer 10

WOO HOO WOW RHONDA WAY TO GOO thought i have a quesiton why did you write this peom about suicide :3

Answer 11

I saw the girl with death drawn from her lips
She placed it upon a blade that she drew within
Stark in itʻs seething power
Willing death to come in farther and farther

Inky darkness clouded her mind
With thoughts of darker means
A way, a seem
Through this life that all it seemed to do was demean
She didnʻt want to look at herself
Not to be a wife
To have a few or five
To never sing unto them
Life herself
Not to give
But her only wish, to end

Answer 18

Ideas, ideas...well there are so many topics you can write a poem about. Anything, you can write it about anything. The sun, winter, love, something sweet, music, being sleepy, sleep, a friend, family, being distracted, writers block, dogs, adventure time ...anything.

Answer 19

thank you :)

Answer 20

Maybe you can try an acrostic poem like use your name Rhonda, and make each letter stand for something. ... Those are sort of fun.

Answer 21

Oh and here's one more thought. Maybe you should write a poem about emotions, like make one about happiness, or sadness, or confusion, or frustration.

Answer 22

... I think I have one...

Answer 23

Its kinda depressing.
Really depressing

Answer 24

Looking over the edge I wonder
Should I jump?
Is it worth it?

Atop a 500 foot building I consider death
This is what I have become
A monster to myself

Looking in the mirror
Feels Painful

Seeing people laugh
Fills me with envy

How are you all so happy?
Is everything perfect in your life?
Does nothing ever go wrong?

A crowd of people has gathered.
Everyone is now looking at me
I have been spotted.

My life's decisions go through my mind
What I have I done?

Have I just become such a mess?
Have I pushed everyone away?

Feeling alone and afraid
I close my eyes
And jump.

And that is when I wake up
I'm in my bed and I realize
That I want to live

I am not alone
I am just afraid.

Answer 25

what do you think?

Answer 26

im super depressing sorry

Answer 27

Wow, just wow. That ending is so good, it was surprising, that was a great tactic. Do you have a title for it? And what's your inspiration for this poem?
And its okay if its sad. I enjoy poetry of all kinds, I just love when an author can communicate a feeling or idea. Like as long as they make me think, then I consider the poem successful.

Answer 28

I think the title will be "Fear"...

Answer 29

Just a word, or a couple to title many?

Answer 30

Your poems are just like mine they are always depressing....i think they are great i like the last one you posted ^^
