A bruised arm.
She had to lie.
A bleeding wrist.
No time to cry.
This is the end.
She s giving up, after a 2 year fight.
Tried to act fine, tried to fit in&
But the line between death and human perfection is rather thin.
She ll hang herself or blow away her head.
She ll suffocate, or drown herself.
Either way she s left on the shelf.
In a picture frame or what she use to be, happy and care-free.
But something went wrong in the deepest of her mind.
There are many mysteries to what you will find, when you tear the suicide note from her clinging hand.
Remember this was not what she planned...

Very sad. I like how the first four lines are short and really convey the message of the poem but then you go on to tell a little more and delve deeper into the darkness of the moment. And again, the image of a fading picture - of what used to be. I've used a similar analogy only with a mirror in a short story.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
