The last poem of a member who had taken their life.

I love how you described the light in the third stanza, and the detail of including the lines ”the way air fills my chest, the quiet bravery of staying”. It’s beautiful.
please stay with us @rugged herald. You are here, you matter, and people notice. Don’t let this be your last poem. Soon you’ll be a poet of all the abundance of joy in your life and all that you feel. But stay here for that part. It’s so worth it i promise

I really encourage you to reach out to somebody please. In no universe is the world better without you in it. That’s impossible when you were so carefully chosen to be here in the first place. So the only other possible truth is that the world IS better WITH you in it.

its not mine, its my friend's it was the last poem of a friend of mine who took their life after it

I wanted to share it

Because

She was a member of this community and loved poetry

[coarse oracle]

Ohh i see. I’m so sorry for your loss

[coarse oracle]

Thank you for sharing it. Please take care of yourself too, don’t follow her step🫂

If you dont mind, could you share her User in this community? I’d love to read her previous work and admire some of her soul she left behind. I think that’d be nice

[rugged herald]

She didnt use to post her work here

[rugged herald]

I would love to but I fear It wouldn't be okay for me to post her work she clearly didnt want to be posted to public, she would write poems every day and only post them in her own small group chat, I hate myself for not even bothering to read her poems because just now i realize that every single one of them were hinting her sadness and suffering

So i would like to keep her profile and other poems private

[coarse oracle]

Ahh I see. Yeah i totally understand dw

I can only offer my condolences again, but I pray that you’ll have some peace of mind among your guilt🫂
