[hometext] => I work for a Charity that provides suicide prevention programs for young people, when i started there i wasn't much better than the young people i was trying to save and this is one of the few long poems i have ever written about a down day back then
[bodytext] => Stumble to the toilet Light the day's first smoke Think of money for a bit Then cough and splutter and choke And while the day begins to slide And the birds begin to fly Let the day go by Slap some shoes on your feet Take a swig of last night's beer Walk to the bus stop down the street And see the people stare And now as time begins to fly While the sun's high in the sky Let the day go by On the bus and off to work Someone's got to pay the rent Backseats where the losers lurk Get off the bus when your ride is spent Now your mind begins to fly Your thoughts escape and float high As you let the day go by Get to work just on time Set up for the day ahead It is your job to stop suicide But you'll be smoking till the day you're dead Once again the day begins to slide And now the birds no longer fly But still you let the day go by Finish work and light another smoke It's dark and time to head for home Then drink and drink until you choke And collapse outside on a garden gnome As the light begins to die You may for once just know why You had to let the day go by [comments] => 1 [counter] => 196 [topic] => 13 [informant] => Poetic_punk [notes] => Edited for spelling, as requested. - Moderator_14 [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
