As I beg you to speak

I think I know why 

you wish now to die

but give me a key

to your mind

please, friend, speak

silence only helped the deceased

but that's not what you'll be

so give me your words

set yourself free

please, friend, speak

oh, don't close your eye

you don't need a disguise 

you still sit silently

please, friend, speak

we are running out of time

but I still cannot read your mind

the sun starts to set 

why are you upset

I can't get to your thoughts

the entrance is blocked

please let me in

please don't pretend

this isn't the end

we will see the sun rise

it will all soon be fine

and we won't

be 

weak

but now I am pleading

to stop all your bleeding

before you stop breathing

please,

friend,

speak.

The ugly truth of reality conveyed in such a beautiful format. I find myself drawn to this poem. Thanks for sharing it with us :)

Unfortionately I know exactly what this says, it seems to be almost like a different veiw, a point of veiw from a friend of someone who is depressed.

Veritas. This sound real. I've been in enough support groups to recognise the frustrated futility of this kind of silence. Solid topic.

A bit dramatic but yet it hits on a subject that is dear to my heart. I have a friend who I begged to share with me any problems he was having years ago because I could tell not all was well in his life. To make a long story short, he kept saying every thing was fine but it wasn't. So one day he lashed out and ended up doing something that sent him to prison for 2 years and he's still paying for it because he thought asking for help from his best friend was a weakness. Thanks for sharing this.

I'm glad you connected with my writing, and I wish the best for you and your friend

[Healed but Scarred]

Deep, wish I was bold enough to tell that to a friend, or bold enough speak up to a friend.

I am truly speechless. This made me feel like... you were talking to me, saying all these things to my face. So beautiful.

[Ashe Conten]

I'm so glad you liked it and I'm glad you connected personally. The fact that my writing gives you any sort of hope or feeling you're not alone keeps me going.

Pretty good only thing I'd ask you to alter would be the part where you said "block" cuz I believe you meant "blocked"*

[Ashe Conten]

Thank you, that is exactly what I meant, just a typo
