All Fall Down

teenage suicide

Ring around the children's necks.
A coffin filled with roses.
Ashes, ashes
we all fall down.

Words started as a whisper,
but then spread much like the plague,
til all were screaming suicide
and the blood flowed just like tears.

A noose within the closet.
A hand gun in the bible.
A razor in the vanity.
We all fall down.

Last words linger amongst the corpses.
These contagious thoughts are deadly.
It's for the fame, it's for the love
that these sick kids choose to die.

"Gather around and notice me
and bury me with roses".
Ashes, ashes,
they all fall down.

This is so deep and so sad... and so true. You have a way with words... what I like to call "disastrously beautiful".

This is powerful....and extremely sad. Very real.

Goodness, you have talent,

...this is amazing, love the darkness to this.

Nicely done. Darkness should never be a fashion statement.
