LIFE, LOVE, SUICIDE by Dionne Miller

It Doesn't Always Help

It doesn't always help

especially when we need to vent

but they say try to channel our emotions

I think this is what they meant

It isn't always easy

colouring paper with our pen

if things are unexplainable

what would we do then?

Sometimes a knife could help

not for self harm

but to show someone how we feel

by taking a leg or an arm

Violence is not the answer

put the music in your ear

listen for a while

until all evil thoughts clear

But the last solution

is always pen and paper

because we're too tired

though the pain becomes greater

Eventually, blood will be my ink

my paper will be a sink

so when I've reached my end

I'll color my paper with a pen
