Childhood Suicide
by Yuushi Rose
copyright 08-20-2001

Age Rating: 18 to 127

This is a poem about my past... I blocked it out when I was younger because it hurt so much, and I'm only starting to remember so many things now. No, I'm not manic depressive...I'm actually a very perky, fun loving, hyperactive girl. I just like dark stuff is all. ^_^ Oh, and a part in here sounds like my father hit my mother...it was my mother throwing the vase at my dad so...no wife beaters in my family, no worries! Oh, and I sort of wrote this so people can see that in todays world...there's no such thing as a normal childhood......

"Childhood Suicide"
Yuushi Rose

Small child
Sitting quietly
Seeming mild
Silent catastrophe
Waiting moment
Passing by
Tears on her face
Wanting to die
Hiding now
Inside her closet
Under clothes
Comforting bears
Only five
Keeps trying
So desperately
Does she try
To slit
Those small wrists
To die
To stop the pain
Memories
Molestation
Hate and fire
Burning tension
The screaming goes on
A vase shatters
Father yells
Mother screams
Her blood drips...

Open my eyes
Memories
Of a past
I prefer
To forget....

This is a sad powerfull poem, it is a shame that in this world of ours young children have these thoughts.

A well written poem that made me think.

Very powerful poem which was excellent to read...and hard to read too. So young to want to die. I understand how you would have blocked the memory.

As for the comment around childhood, there was much pain in the past too....generations back...only it was never spoken. Stayed as hidden as the child in your poem stayed hidden in the closet. Not only is there little "normal" childhood today....there were many who did not live a "normal" childhood in past generations either.

and one day....we will break the cycle and no more children will be crying alone in the closet.

Great strength you have in writing this poem, well done.

This is a very touching poem and much truth rings within it. I am sorry for the pains you have endured, but I hope life has turned out to be a better place for you now. This poem was sad but oh so powerful.
