Guidelines

by Thomas   Aug 24, 2012


Pull the trigger
Bring the hammer down
Destroy the mind

Grab a razor
Search the vein
Let the river flow

Pick a tree
Tie the knot
Let it all hang

Open the cabinet
Choose the bottle
Open wide

In case of failure
Retrace steps
And try again

    Thomas...this is my favourite piece by you, it is dark and disturbing but wonderful.

    The topic is a controversial one and i like the fact you met it head on, the rhythm of the write is spot on and your word choice was fantastic.

    Your skills as a writer are greatly improving and it is a joy to read your writing.

    Great write dude

    This is one powerful write, Thomas. I hope it is purely fiction and you do not feel this way. Like Dagmar stated, I can see depression dripping from this piece... trying every way to end it through every choice of suicide... shooting, cutting, hanging, and overdose. The ending thinks that maybe that the person has failed before, so he must try again until he succeeds.

    Really sad piece... my heart hurts knowing that people battle the struggle of contemplating suicide everyday. :(

    This is a very sad and deep write
    It reminds me of a person dealing with
    depression, reaching out for the bottle
    believing that they have not only failed themselves but others as well. Suicide
    is their last option
    excellent write
