5 Minutes

5 Minutes

A Poem by Teeya
"

Never allow life to take time away from life...

"

Day 1


Can we talk?
Can we please talk?
I need to talk to you!
No not later, now!
I really need to talk to you now!!!
Well when will you have time???
You promise we can talk tomorrow?
OK, tomorrow.


Day 6


Do you have time to talk now?
You said tomorrow 5 days ago!!!
Can I please have 5 minutes of your time?
Just 5 minutes, PLEASE!!!
I really need to talk to you.
Yes it is important!
No I can’t wait until tomorrow!!!
PLEASE!!!
I’m begging you!!!
Don’t walk away!!
Please don’t…


Day 9


I’m so alone
I have no one to talk to
No one has time for me
I screamed til the silence hurt
But they just wouldn’t listen
I’m tired of this pain.
My head hurts.
God, please make this pain go away.
I’m tired of this loneliness.
Everyday I’m alone.
No one listens.
No one hears.
I scream,
I cry,
I shout
In silence
because no one listens.
No one hears.
I just want it to go away.
I want the pain to go away…


Day 10


Oh my GOD!!!!
Help!!! Somebody help!!!!
PLEASE HELP!!!!
She’s on the floor!
She…she’s not breathing!!!!
Oh God no!!! PLEASE NO!!!
Why would she do this!?!?

How could this happen?!?!
What’s this in her hand?
      (A note reads)


5 minutes was all I needed. 

You couldn’t give me 5 minutes of your time? 

You wouldn’t listen to me for 5 minutes. 

Can you hear me now???

It's very hard when you realize the pain someone was going through after they've screamed for so long only to hear them once they've become silent.

Love this one. I would have preferred to have read it with a little less...(loudness?) To me the whole thing is in the end...the note says everything in just 4 lines.

Unfortunately we live in a society where no one cares until caring is the only socially acceptable thing to do..which is of course usually after a tragedy and it's too late. Sad.

I meant no one can hear them because no one is listening.

i appreciate the use of CAPS to notate an emotion as important as the message itself
strong words need strong recognition

very well written with no distraction

your message is heard LOUD & CLEAR

WOW, OMG, and a whole bunch of words that escape me now. Sad but true I am bipolar and was actually suicidal at the beginning of October, I have absolutely turned my life around. NEVER GIVE UP. My "Don't just B, but B amazing!" pages on google+ and YouTube reflect my story of HOPE as well as TONS of helpful info. AMAZINGLY BRILLIANT I am so sorry for your loss I hope you add me as a friend on google if you do that and help me spread HOPE. THANK YOU DEARLY, I am so thankful I found this piece. 100/100

No one is hearing here in Ireland either Teeya - the help groups swell with family members of those who regret not listening or rather not hearing.
This twisted at the end for me - I assumed it wouldnt end like this.

I am a fan :) and you are welcome :)
You reached right into my chest and snatched the breath out of me.
I still have the chills. This poem can scare the hell out of us, but
some subjects need a little more than a gentle nod.
