Cortney Stone Poet Free verse

Silent

Choking wheezing kicking screaming 
slowly deepening into uncontiousness
drowning rope shots guns hearts 
and hopes fathers daughters and 
moms high schools homecomings
and proms they all stair me in the 
face like i'm a big disgrace but it 
could all end if i make the choice 
to live without a body or voice as 
a figure that walks among the died 
and watch as people just turn there
head see all the people cry and 
wonder why but its all my choice if 
i want to make it that way i just have 
to not use my    VOICE

One day the ones who put you down will wake up and see this. Until then go on with your life do and be the best you can be. Do it for you and no one else. Pray to God he will help you along the way. Love, Carol
