I'm glad you all liked it so much
Sealiah - Thanks so much
Erik - Hope the PM helped a little, but I'm glad you liked it even with all that in the way!
mbironneau - hehe very nice way of putting it... a different view that i'd never have thought of on my own, love it!
MsJ - I'm amazed you were the first to notice that, but you're right it was intentional of course. Thanks so much!
As for an explanation... hehe I'm no good at that! I wanted to challenge myself a little, since this was the first poem I'd written in a month or so. Soo.. I picked something to use as an acrostic... Only it seemed kinda boring to just outright talk about suicide! I liked the process of painting this picture better anyway... It's so much more flexible too! And I didn't mention the acrostic part because I wanted to see the different ways it might be interpreted. I spent about 4 days on this piece, changing it everytime to make it harder to write. I added a rhyme scheme and started to set syllables but I lost my inspiration halfway through - had to stop writing at the risk of ruining the whole feeling! And of course I tried to make the feeling real strong - so I had to use strong words... Which is a challenge for me
But it was a strong feeling somewhere inside me, so I hoped it could be a strong feeling for the readers too! ...Um... how's that? hehe
Smiles!,
